Thomas Tuchel has said he will never celebrate after Chelsea's title rivals Liverpool and Man City dropped points on Saturday, October 30.

While the Blues won their match week 10 fixture, both Liverpool and City suffered an upset in their respective fixtures.

Liverpool, on the other hand, surrendered a two-goal advantage against Brighton to settle for a 2-2 draw at home.

Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane both struck twice for the Reds before Enock Mwepu and Leandro Trossard found the back of the net to earn a point for Brighton.

Meanwhile, the biggest upset of the day came at Etihad Stadium where champions City were stunned 2-0 by Crystal Palace in a match that saw Aymeric Laporte sent off.

The results from the weekend mean Chelsea now have a slight title advantage over the two EPL heavyweights who are hot on their heels.

The west Londoners are now three points clear of Liverpool at the summit of the Premier League.

However, Tuchel is not getting carried away, insisting his charges must remain focused.

"There will never be a moment where we celebrate the results on the other pitches,’ Tuchel said after Chelsea’s win over Newcastle," he said.

"It’s first of all far too early, second of all we want to focus on ourselves and third of all what goes around comes around, we don’t do this, there’s a long way to go," he added.
