The German has had a brilliant start in life since replacing Frank Lampard at Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel continues to receive praise for his start at Chelsea, and the win over Everton on Monday saw him etch his name in the record books.
The Blues are unbeaten in 11 games under the German, while Everton’s 2-0 shutout made him the first manager in Premier League history to see his team keep a clean sheet in each of his first five games at home in charge of the division. .
And while Tuchel secured a piece of personal history on Monday, failure to concede meant Chelsea have now kept five goals in a row at home in the league for the first time since 2015.
History made
While forwards thrive on goals, a clean sheet for a defender and a goalkeeper is equally important. The Blues repelled the Everton threat with relative ease on Monday.
Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy faced only one shot on goal, and at the other end an own goal from Ben Godfrey and a penalty from Jorginho sealed the three points that reinforced Chelsea’s position in the top four.
The view of Tuchel
The Blues have only conceded two goals in 11 games since the German took over, and he says it’s down to a collective effort and mindset.
“It’s about desire,” he said. “Defending is about effort. Sometimes it is necessary to defend the midfield. It’s about dependability, confidence, courage, bravery.
“Those around you must help you, principles, reliable, covering their backs.”
