LONDON (Reuters) – Thomas Tuchel said his Chelsea side had taken a big step towards ensuring a top-four finish in the Premier League but offered a note of caution after his team’s crucial 2-1 revenge win over Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. Had they lost they would have likely been faced with the prospect of having to beat Manchester City in this month’s Champions League final to return to the competition next season. We played many, many minutes with a lot of quality.”Goals from Antonio Rudiger and Jorginho mean a win away to Aston Villa will seal third spot — an amazing turnaround after Chelsea were in mid-table when Tuchel took charge. “It was in my opinion a well-deserved win but it’s not the time for praise and celebration,” he said. He felt his hamstrings and was worried that he would get injured if he continued to play,” Tuchel said.
