Chelsea manager Tuchel claims Leicester star Tielemans 'lucky' with FA Cup winner | OneFootball

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans got 'lucky' with his winner in the FA Cup final.

The Belgian midfielder unleashed a rocket from 30-yards to give Leicester their first ever FA Cup triumph.

"We were in total control," Tuchel told the club's website after the game. "We conceded a goal out of absolutely nothing. I mean, it's a fantastic goal but it's a lucky goal. It's one shot out of a hundred."

He added on Chelsea's performance: "We were too hectic. We found spaces in front of their defence, we had accelerations but we were too hectic and gave too many balls away where we could have created chances.

"After that , [Leicester] were deep, deep, deep and had control in their half. We create a big chance with Mason [Mount] but it's a big save from [Kasper] Schmeichel and then [Ben Chilwell's] offside goal.

"We defended very, very well. They are super strong in the counter attack but we closed down [Jamie] Vardy, we closed down [Kelechi] Iheanacho.

"There's nothing much to complain about but you need a bit of luck. If you win consistently you need quality, and you deserve it, but you need these moments to go in your direction."
