Thomas Tuchel critical of Chelsea's finishing against Manchester United

Tuchel critical of Chelsea's finishing against Man United

Thomas Tuchel has acknowledged that his Chelsea side will 'not get the reward for their performances' unless they establish a ruthless streak in front of goal.

The Blues were held to a 1-1 draw at Manchester United on Thursday, Marcos Alonso's volley immediately being cancelled out by Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, Chelsea dominated the game at Old Trafford, squandering countless opportunities in the final third with N'Golo Kante and Kai Havertz among the guilty party.

Although Chelsea have strengthened their hold of third place in the Premier League table, Tuchel was less than impressed with his team's performance in the final third.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Tuchel said: "One team deserved to win and that was us. We didn't take it. It was a very, very good performance but we were not decisive enough. We lacked a bit of determination in the box to win the game.

"It sometimes happens. It's on us to learn from it. You need to be clinical to get the reward. We have to live with a point but it's not a fair result.

"We worked so hard to get the lead and suddenly the opponent gets one free shot and scores."

Chelsea are next in action when they square off against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
