Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has hit out at officials and the Premier League fixture list, after they played out a 1-1 draw with Brighton on Wednesday night, December 29, 2021.

The Blues suffered more injury setbacks and also dropped two points, after Danny Welbeck cancelled out Romelu Lukaku’s opener.

Romelu Lukaku put the Blues in front with an early header, but the hosts failed to add more goals.

Danny Welbeck then came off the bench to level the score deep into stoppage time.

Speaking after the game at Stamford Bridge, Tuchel said: “A draw about right? Absolutely not. We had the better chances and a clear penalty. Very disappointing and very frustrating.

“If the ref does not want to give a penalty when it is a clear 100% penalty. Everything against us.

“100% it is a penalty, you ask the ref not me.”

The result leaves Chelsea in second place, eight points behind leaders, Manchester City.
