'I'm not having that, he's got a bench worth £220m!': Alan Shearer hits out at Thomas Tuchel for claiming Chelsea are tired after their draw at Brighton and insists the struggling Blues are 'low on confidence'

Alan Shearer has hit back at Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel for claiming his side were 'tired' after their 1-1 draw with Brighton on Tuesday night - insisting the Blues should have fared better with a bench worth £220million.

Chelsea were lacklustre at the AMEX as they laboured to an eighth draw of the season in another blow for their hopes of winning the title, with Hakim Ziyech's early long-range strike being cancelled out by an Adam Webster header.

Ziyech barely reacted after putting the team ahead, and Tuchel believes his squad were too tired to even celebrate in order to 'save energy'.
