Thomas Tuchel aims fire at English Football's decision-makers AGAIN by insisting Chelsea's win at Aston Villa was spoiled by health concerns amid ongoing Covid-19 surge

Thomas Tuchel revealed he was unable to enjoy Chelsea’s comeback victory at Aston Villa because of worries over his players’ health and safety as he let rip at English football chiefs again.

A second-half display inspired by substitute Romelu Lukaku, who scored the second goal and terrified Villa’s defence, hauled the Blues back to within six points of Premier League leaders Manchester City.

But following recent disruption due to Covid-19 cases and injuries, Tuchel said he could not be excited about the result and repeated his demand for teams to be allowed to use five substitutes rather than three.
