Thomas Tuchel left fuming over 'reckless' tackle on Tammy Abraham by Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles as Chelsea boss faces anxious wait to discover extent of striker's ankle injury

Thomas Tuchel hit out at Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles' 'reckless' tackle that left Tammy Abraham with an ankle injury.

Lascelles avoided any censure from referee Peter Bankes despite a scissor tackle that upended the Chelsea striker in the Newcastle area.

Olivier Giroud and Timo Werner scored as Chelsea ran out 2-0 winners to climb into the Premier League's top four for the first time since December.
