Chelsea 3-2 Leeds United - recap: Marcelo Bielsa reaction to late Stamford Bridge defeat

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel to Sky Sports: “It was a nice game of football. Very intense and I’m very happy with how we played.

“I think we deserved to win but of course it’s lucky when you have a late goal in extra time. But coming back twice is very impressive and I’m very happy we turned things around. It was tough work but we didn’t expect anything else.

“We were lucky, we needed this. We were unlucky in last two games conceding very late goals so maybe this is exactly what we needed.”

On Jorginho’s two penalties: “It’s not so easy two score two penalties. I wasn’t sure if he would take the second one. We believe in our players, it’s not easy so full credit to him.

On the importance of this win: “There’s no alternative to winning in this dressing room. We have two days off now as we play again on Thursday. I’m really happy for the team and the staff that we have these two days with a feeling that we have turned things around.

“There are things to improve as always but I’m very happy with the result.”

On the bust-up between the two sets of players at the final whistle: “Emotions were boiling. I think it’s normal. I didn’t hear it was anything serious so all good.”

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa to MOTD: “It was a game we deserved to draw and we lost it when it was finishing. That increases the disappointment.”

On penalties: “What the the referee decided was fine.”

“It is very difficult to make a team like Chelsea play worse. It is also very difficult to attack a team like this. In a way we managed to achieve both things. We could attack and we managed to make them not play as well as they can do.

“[Gelhardt] is a player whose great virtue is his finishing and I’m happy that in such few minutes he was able to impact the game.”

On frustrations at the end: “It was a minor episode without importance. Of course we always prefer that not to happen, but I don’t assign any gravity to it. The emotional weight of the game was very big, it was a beautiful game full of emotions. Sometime when that happens the passion goes overboard. I thought it was all within the limits that are tolerable.”
