Immediate former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has taken full responsibility for the Blues' shocking defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League Group E opener on Tuesday night, September 6.

The Blues were the dominant side during the clash staged in Croatia but fluffed a number of golden goalscoring opportunities.

They were eventually punished in the 13th minute of the encounter as Mislav Orsic ran in behind Chelsea’s high defensive line to slot the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was in goal for the visitors.

Chelsea were unable to respond for the remainder of the tie as the home side held firm to claim maximum points.
