'We won all the statistics': Thomas Tuchel says Chelsea trumped West Brom on 'EXPECTED GOALS, take-ons' and 'would win if we played this game again 99 times' - even though they lost 5-2 at home!

Thomas Tuchel has claimed Chelsea were victims of a fluke West Bromwich Albion victory on Saturday, despite his side suffering a 5-2 hammering.

The Blues' shock loss at Stamford Bridge saw their 14-match unbeaten start under their new manager come to an extraordinary halt in the Premier League clash.

Despite taking the lead through Christian Pulisic, Chelsea saw centre-back Thiago Silva sent off for a second bookable offence in the 29th minute before conceding twice to two Matheus Pereira goals in first half stoppage time.

Chasing the game while a man down after the break, Callum Robinson and Mbaye Diagne punished the Blues to make it 4-1 before before Robinson struck again in stoppage time after a Mason Mount consolation.
