Thomas Tuchel admits his side were not Clinical enough against United despite dominating the game.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel admits is side were not clinical enough against Manchester United at Old Trafford last night.

The points were shared between the Reds and the Blues in the game but the London side dominated the game.

Marcos Alonso scored for Chelsea in the second half after several effort of getting a goal before Cristiano Ronaldo put Rangnick side on level few minutes later.

Speaking to the media after the game Thomas Tuchel said: “I’m a little bit frustrated,” Tuchel said.

“We were very strong on and off the ball. Very dominant. A lot of ball wins, a lot of deliveries, a lot of half-chances, a lot space around the box, but unfortunately we lacked precision and determination in the box to finish it off.

“When we had it [the lead], we gave it away it one minute later, so it started all over again, but the reaction was good. I’m very happy with the performance. It was a huge team effort and we showed what it needs to win in a big stadium on a big stage, on a focus level, on a physical input level.

“We were very fluid, very confident. I was happy with the way we played. We found enough moments for acceleration to take more advantage. It felt like a little bit was missing in the last 16 yards of the field to be more decisive earlier.

“Sometimes days like this happen, but it’s on us to learn from it. To win on stages like this, you have to be clinical to get the rewards. It was a huge team effort with a lot of quality but unfortunately, we don’t have what we deserve.”
