Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel was mystified by his team's concession of three goals in 10 minutes in Saturday's shock 4-1 Premier League thrashing by Brentford which consigned the European champions to their first home defeat in six months.

Tuchel said he was happy with the way the Blues, who had been poor in the opening period, started the second half with defender Antonio Rudiger giving Chelsea the lead with an unstoppable shot from more than 30 yards in the 48th minute.
