Chelsea 2-1 Plymouth Argyle

at Stamford Bridge

THIS was a far from accomplished display from Chelsea, but with their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup assured, manager Thomas Tuchel will now be targeting success in the Club World Cup.  

A positive Covid-19 test saw Tuchel forced to self-isolate, as assistant Arno Michels took charge for this hard-fought win over League One side Plymouth Argyle.  

Tuchel will join his players in Abu Dhabi later this week — potentially missing their first match on Wednesday — as they begin their assault on the tournament they qualify for as European champions.
