'Of course I'm worried about the top four': Livid Thomas Tuchel warns his Chelsea players that they could miss out on qualifying for the Champions League following defeat to Everton

Thomas Tuchel has warned Chelsea's players they risk squandering Champions League qualification after producing a display that left the German enraged.

Chelsea have taken four points from the last four matches, conceding seven goals in the process, and their performance at Goodison Park showcased all the shortcomings in their squad – not being able to score and not being able to keep a clean sheet.

Tuchel said he left Romelu Lukaku, his £97m striker, on the bench because an injury to Jorginho in the first half limited his options. The head coach was also exasperated with the performance of referee Kevin Friend and questioned why some of Everton's intense play went unpunished.
