The Blues avoided a draw as Hakim Ziyech scored the winning goal after Mason Mount’s first-half strike as the Hornets equalised just before half-time.
Tuchel believed that Chelsea were not completely prepared for the game and called the victory a “lucky” escape. Nevertheless, the London club has maintained their position as the Premier League leaders.
“That’s not us. We were absolutely not ready today for this match,” The German boss told Amazon after the game.”
“I missed maybe to find the right approach to make my team ready. We had the break due to very sad circumstances – hopefully, the person is better.”
“Even this break after the first 11 minutes did not change our approach. We did not cope with the pressure, with the first ball, second ball.”
“We had a lot of changes but too many faults. It did not get better. The only thing we could do was hang in there and focus on the easy things. It was a lucky win.”
