Thomas Tuchel claims that his Chelsea side took 'too many risks' as Wolverhampton Wanderers fought back to claim a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel has revealed that he was less than impressed with how many risks Chelsea took when holding a 2-0 advantage over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Thanks to a quickfire double from Romelu Lukaku, the Blues were in total control, but Wolves netted through Francisco Trincao and Conor Coady to earn a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Despite the positives of Lukaku getting back on the scoresheet, Tuchel wanted to focus on the team's performance, feeling that they gifted their opponents a way back into the contest.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Tuchel said: "I thought we started both halves well with an offensive 5-3-2. We knew about the risks and we need to be disciplined. We showed discipline over most moments of the first half. In situations we touch too much risk.

"That costed us some dangerous moments at the end of the first half. We were unlucky not to score, unsure if it was a foul in the first half. Reminded the players at half time to stick to the plan.

"We were 2-0 up and against we took too much risk. We invited the counter-attacks and big chances. Once you do this you lose confidence and invite the opponent to smell something is possible when it is unnecessary."

Chelsea require four points from their remaining three matches against Leeds United, Leicester City and Watford to guarantee a top-four position in the Premier League standings.
