Which incidentally rubbed salt into the wounds as Tuchel saw Harry Kane’s last-gasp header snatch the three points from his side’s hands.

However, Chelsea will be eager to do their gaffer proud when they come up against a rejuvenated Leeds side away from home.

But Jesse Marsch’s team could feel a little deflated having recently threw away a two goal lead at St. Mary’s to draw 2-2 with Southampton.
