Thomas Tuchel has hailed Raheem Sterling’s impact today after the attacker bagged his first two Premier League goals for Chelsea.
The forward’s contribution ended up being vital as the Blues ran out 2-1 winners against Leicester, despite being a man down for most of the game.

“We needed them to step up and he did,” Tuchel said of the summer signing, who had had a great goal disallowed last week.
Sterling’s first goal got a fortunate deflection, but the second one was him in purest form, stealing in beyond the defender at the far post to turn in a Reece James cross.
If Thomas Tuchel can get this attack firing, that’s a move we could see repeater time after time this season.
Today was not promising overall in terms of attacking fluidity, but it was a real display of character from the team, which is a start. Now we need to go through the gears.
Chelsea problem is Tuchel, because he has failed to see loftus cheek is useless in that team he is useless in attack and useless in defends zero croses defence zero just dribbling that doesn’t bring result a right wing back is supposed to be active both attacking and defensive
