LONDON – Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was in the spotlight after his team suffered a humiliating loss to West Bromwich Albion in Week 29 of the 2020-2021 Premier League. The Blues lost 2-5 to West Brom in a match that took place at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, April 3, 2021.

This was the first defeat for Timo Werner and his colleagues under Tuchel’s leadership. This poor result at the same time halted their unbeaten streak in the last 14 matches.

After the game, coach Thomas Tuchel commented on the negative results his team obtained this time. Tuchel did not deny that the red card that Thiago Silva received in the first half was the beginning of the destruction of his team in this match.

“There are two different situations, 11 against 11 and then 11 against 10. There are not five goals conceded when you have our quality, that’s for sure, but we were all involved in this bad situation. Including me,” Tuchel was quoted as saying on the page of BBC Sportlive, on Sunday (4/4/2021).

“We cannot adapt to shocking situations when we are in charge. Usually we are confident enough to defend, but we are careless and we keep making big mistakes,” he said.

“I see that two big mistakes were made before the second yellow card we received. So this is a harsh punishment for the mistakes we made, “he added.

“We tried to play it safe with three defenders. But what happened was that we never had the time to do it. We had several chances but we didn’t defend well,” he said.

Because, by playing to the full with 11 Chelsea players, he demonstrated his dominance and managed to stand out first through Christian Pulisic’s goal in the 27th minute.

However, everything changed 180 degrees when Thiago Silva was sent off by the referee. West Brom, who managed to take advantage of the number of players, freely attacked the home team’s defense.

They successfully scored two goals in the first half. The situation was more difficult than Chelsea felt in the second half. Callum Robinson and Mbaye Diagne took West Brom.

The host camp actually had time to open up hope through Mason Mount’s goal. However, the Baggies players did not seem satisfied and managed to get away with Callum Robinson’s second goal before the game. The match ended 5-2 with the victory of Sam Allardyce’s men.
