Once again Thomas Tuchel was left to reflect on Chelsea’s inability to take care of the small details. The European champions are not playing with the right attitude at the moment and although they almost got away with it this time it was not a surprise when they ended up relinquishing top spot in Group H to
Juventus after this chaotic draw with Zenit St Petersburg.
Tuchel was not a happy man. He did not want to dwell on confidence-boosting goals for Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner. Tuchel had watched in despair when his side twice relinquished leads during their 3-2 defeat against West Ham last weekend and, just when it seemed that Werner had restored order against Zenit by driving in his second goal of the evening,
Chelsea capitulated again, their shoddy defence crumbling in stoppage time and allowing Magomed Ozdoev to blast in a stunning equaliser for the
Russian side.
