The first goal is the key
Joe Cole on BT Sport: Tuchel changed things at the end of the first half last Wednesday, and if I removed the foul, he was good in the game in the second half – they created chances. There is a lot to be positive about. The first goal is crucial. From Chelsea’s point of view, the first goal should not come in the first half.
