Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has apologized for not noticing traveling Blues fans singing his name during their 3-0 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Tuchel admitted he did not notice his song but credited the traveling Chelsea fans for silencing the home crowd. The 48-year-old was pleased to see his side score three goals in front of those away supporters.

Speaking to Chelsea TV (via The Chelsea Chronicle), Tuchel said:

"Oh, I didn't hear it, I'm sorry for that. I was impressed we had so many supporters here [at St James' Park]. To calm the [home fans] crowd down like we did today is also an achievement."It was by quality and concentration — well done, to the players. I'm happy that we could score three goals in front of our spectators in an away game."

Chelsea recorded a routine 3-0 win over Newcastle United at the weekend. The Blues took time to open the scoring with Reece James scoring the first goal at the 65th minute mark. However, goals soon followed as the English right-back netted again 12 minutes later before Jorginho scored the third goal from the penalty spot.

Thomas Tuchel has quickly become a fan favorite amongst Chelsea fans. The former Dortmund and PSG manager guided Chelsea to their second Champions League title last season when they defeated fellow Premier League side Manchester City in the final.
