Chelsea took an early lead through Kai Havertz\u2019s header at Anfield and looked very dangerous in the attack but the game flipped on its head after Reece James was sent off by referee Anthony Taylor.<\/p>\n
Liverpool was also awarded a penalty, which Mohamed Salah scored, with Chelsea forced to play the rest of the game with 10 men.<\/p>\n
Tuchel\u2019s men showed character and fought hard to earn themselves a point from the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cAndreas has been very strong for us from day one. He started in the central position and finished the game in the right position, because we decided to bring on Thiago Silva and stay with the back five,\u2019 Tuchel said at his post-match press conference.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAndreas is very strong, he\u2019s super talented. He loves Chelsea, he\u2019s a Chelsea boy from the academy, this has a huge impact in the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he feels the trust, he knows what to do, he can absolutely help, he\u2019s a top defender and a top guy.<\/h6>\n
\u201cI have the feeling he\u2019s growing every week in confidence and personality, which is good and he\u2019s doing fantastic since day one and getting better and better.\u2019<\/p>\n
On N\u2019Golo Kante, the former PSG boss added, \u201cHe is injured. He missed the Arsenal game because of some pain in the ankle and some inflammation, but it was nothing serious obviously because he was back in training and he started today.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn winning the ball in this situation I think the opponent fell on his ankle and he twisted it again and he had immediately the same pain he had before the Arsenal game and he was lacking force to accelerate and we had to take him off.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cCan there be any harder challenges than going one man down and taking N\u2019Golo Kante off at the same time at half-time at Anfield and having Liverpool playing towards the Kop?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty tough one but we did excellent and I\u2019m super happy with how we did and we feel like we deserved a point very well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
