Thomas Tuchel reacts to Edouard Mendy’s saves vs Leeds United

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was hugely impressed with the performance of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy against Leeds United on Saturday.

The Senegal international kept his 14th clean sheet of the Premier League campaign and he had to earn it after a couple of top-class saves.

The 29-year-old denied Tyler Roberts his maiden top-flight goal in the first half by finger-tipping the Welshman’s effort onto the crossbar.

Before the hour mark, he came up with a strong hand to claw away Raphinha’s shot on the turn which initially wrongfooted him due to a deflection.
