Relieved Thomas Tuchel says he's 'happy nobody got injured' after a feisty start to Chelsea's pre-season against Club America.. as the Blues boss claims their Las Vegas opener was played 'on the edge'

Thomas Tuchel was pleased to see his Chelsea side get their US tour off to a winning start after the Blues edged past Club America 2-1.

Mason Mount clipped a stunning winner to ensure team-mate Reece James was left with no fear and loathing as Chelsea secured victory in Las Vegas.

The England midfielder kept his cool to curl home from outside the area and secure the win after James had comically slotted a backpass beyond third-choice keeper Marcus Bettinelli to cancel out Timo Werner’s opener at the air-conditioned Allegiant Stadium, close to the famous strip.
