Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel revealed after his side's mauling by Leeds that he and his coaching staff had been forced to take the bus to West Yorkshire rather than fly with their players. But he will have left Elland Road feeling even more grounded.
His expensively assembled side, which has been supplemented by more than £170m of spending this summer, were taken apart by Jesse Marsch's Leeds, with the American describing the 3-0 win as "the best day since I've been here".
By contrast, Tuchel said: "Everything that can go wrong did go wrong." After the transport problems, things went from bad to worse, with his side missing chances in the first 20 minutes, Edouard Mendy's mistake, a set-piece goal for Rodrigo, and Kalidou Koulibaly's late red card.
