Thomas Tuchel has played down the title talk surrounding Chelsea following their win against Newcastle on Saturday. The Blues strolled to a comfortable 3-0 victory, with Reece James scoring a brace and Jorginho getting on the scoresheet as well.
With both Manchester City and Liverpool dropping points, the Blues are now three points clear at the top after ten games. City lost 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace, while Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Brighton & Hove Albion. The sequence of results means Chelsea are atop the Premier League table with 25 points. They are three clear of Liverpool and five ahead of holders City.
Speaking after the game, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said that the team needs to stay grounded, as the season is a long one. He added that he liked his team's performance on the night, and he's not one to celebrate the results of other teams. The Blues tactician said:
"There has never been a moment where we celebrate results on the other pitches. First of all, it's far too early, and second of all we want to focus on ourselves instead of others.""What goes around comes around; we don't do this. There's a long way to go. I'm absolutely happy today with our performance off the ball. This was the key for me from the first minute to the last, the effort and discipline."
Chelsea were only one point ahead of Liverpool and two ahead of Manchester City at the start of the night. However, with their rivals dropping points, the Blues moved three clear at the top. Following their win on Saturday, Chelsea are now unbeaten in their last seven games across competitions.
