Chelsea walked away with a pretty straightforward 2-0 win thanks to what head coach Thomas Tuchel called afterwards a “spot on” performance.

A brace by Kai Havertz sealed a comfortable win for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge ahead of the blockbuster second leg of the champions league semifinal match with Real Madrid, Wednesday.

Reacting during the match’s post-conference interview, Tuchel said: “We were spot on. It was what we demanded from ourselves. We showed the pride we are capable of — to do it in between two big games. I’m beyond happy that we did it. There was no lack of concentration. We had some trouble which everyone against this Fulham side has but there was no lack of concentration and that was key.

“We knew Fulham gives everyone a hard time. They make you under-perform and they make you suffer. You cannot get confused with the table. That’s why I have the highest respect for what we did today. It was tough for us but we hang in the game. We could decide the match earlier but it was a tough and a very important win.”

Reacting to the knocks picked up by Mason Mount on his foot and Édouard Mendy, Tuchel said: “I hope really that Mason [Mount] is not a big thing and hopefully he can fully recover for Real Madrid.”
