Tuchel stunned as Chelsea lose 2-5 to West Brom at the Bridge
Chelsea were left stunned as strugglers West Brom breezed past to a thumping 5-2 victory in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Things began on an ominous note for Chelsea with Thiago Silva, returning from injury, getting sent off early in the game. However, Christian Pulisic handed the Blues the lead, easing some nerves.
But, some sloppy defending allowed West Brom a way through as Matheus Pereira scored twice in the first-half stoppage time to make it 2-1. After the break, the Baggies were two goals in front with Callum Robinson’s thumping finish before Mbaye Diagne made it 4-1.
Substitute Mason Mount did pull one back for Chelsea but Robinson added another late goal to condemn the Blues to their first-ever defeat under Thomas Tuchel.
Having let in just two league goals under the German up until this point, Chelsea let in five against a team battling for survival, in what was a shambolic display. And the fans were far from pleased with what they saw.
