Tuchel hinted that Chelsea lost because they arrived at the stadium by bus 3
`The worst that can happen, has happened,` Tuchel said after the defeat at Elland Road.
Chelsea started not bad, and scored against host Leeds in the 15th minute, but Raheem Sterling’s goal was not recognized for offside.
The turning point came in the 33rd minute, when goalkeeper Edouard Mendy was cumbersome, allowing Brenden Aaronson to steal the ball and kick it into an empty net.
Tuchel talks with Chelsea players during the first half of the 0-3 loss to host Leeds in the Premier League on August 21.
Chelsea’s nightmare did not end, when Kalidou Koulibaly received a second yellow card for pulling Joe Gelhardt’s shirt, and was sent off in the 84th minute. Previously, in the first half, the $41 million rookie was warned for the same error.
According to Tuchel, Mendy’s mistake was the turning point that caused Chelsea to lose miserably.
This is Chelsea’s biggest defeat against Leeds since losing with the same score in 1995. Tuchel said that Chelsea lost themselves by missing many good opportunities in the first 20 minutes.

Goalkeeper Mendy was robbed of the ball by Aaronson and scored into an empty net, opening the score for Leeds on August 21.
Tuchel affirmed that Chelsea must continue to strengthen their forces if they want to compete for the championship.
Tuchel also denied that Leeds players running more than 11 km had an impact on the match.
Leeds coach Jesse Marsch disagreed with his colleague’s statement.
