Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel hits out at the club's travelling support at Burnley after chants of Roman Abramovich were heard during a show of respect for Ukraine.
As a consequence of Russia's military invasion of the country, Abramovich has made the decision to sell the Premier League giants, partly to protect his own assets at a time when they may be frozen or seized by the British government.
Before this weekend's fixtures, the Premier League announced that all matches would be preceded by a minutes' applause for Ukraine in a show of solidarity.
However, Chelsea fans used that time to chant the name of the Russian billionaire in a move which has been heavily criticised by Tuchel.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Tuchel said: "It's not the moment to do this. If we show solidarity we show solidarity and we should do it together. We take the knee together. If an important person from our club or another club unfortunately dies we have a minute of respect.
"It is not the moment to give other messages. It's the moment to show respect. We want to do this. As a club we need our fans to commit to this minute of applause.
"We do it for Ukraine and there is no second opinion about this situation. They have our thoughts and our support and we should stand together."
Tuchel had earlier praised the "character" of his players, who recorded a 4-0 victory at Turf Moor to strengthen their grip of third position in the top-flight standings.
