Thomas Tuchel admits Chelsea 'STOLE three points' in 'lucky' win at Watford - as boss blames himself for 'not finding right approach' despite Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech netting to keep them top of the Premier League

Thomas Tuchel claimed his Chelsea side 'stole three points' with a 2-1 win at Watford and were 'lucky' to keep their place as the Premier League leaders.

The Blues made hard work of their trip to Vicarage Road in a game which was halted after a Watford fan suffered a cardiac arrest 13 minutes in.

The game was stopped as the supporter was stabilised and then taken to hospital, but after it resumed Mason Mount gave the Blues the lead just before the half-hour mark.

However, Emmanuel Dennis fired in an equaliser into the bottom corner just before half-time, but Blues substitute Hakim Ziyech finished high into the net to ensure they returned to winning ways after their draw against Manchester United on Sunday.
