Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he needed to bring on N’Golo Kante at half-time against Tottenham in order to ‘change the momentum’ of the game.

After a quiet first-half, the Blues sprung into life in the second at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, overpowering the home side with Thiago Silva, Kante and Antonio Rudiger all getting the score sheet.
