Football News : I have answered this question 100 times- Tuchel loses patience after latest Chelsea draw

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel defended his "tired" Chelsea side after they dropped two points in a 1-1 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday.

Tuchel declared "Welcome to reality" as he bemoaned his side's congested fixture list which has seen the Blues play ten matches in the past month.

Hakim Ziyech gave Chelsea the lead only for Adam Webster to equalise for Brighton - a result which leaves Tuchel's men 12 points behind leaders Manchester City.

The German head coach said he will give his players two days off before they start preparations to play Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
