Chelsea spent big last summer in an effort to close the gap on the Premier League leaders.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was left holding back the laughs after being translated in his press conference. It came as the Blues out one foot in the semi-finals of the Champions League with a sturdy performance against Porto.

Chelsea had Mason Mount to thank as they took one giant step towards the Champions League semi-final.Goals from Mount and Ben Chilwell handed Thomas Tuchel’s side a 2-0 win in their first leg against FC Porto.In what was technically their away fixture, the Blues took complete command of the tie, but only after Mount opened the scoring in superb fashion.After a tight opening, Jorginho fired a quick pass into the England star’s feet, only for him to turn the defender and fire into the bottom corner.It’s the latest in a string of impressive performances for the 22-year-old, who is becoming a vital part for both his club and country.Speaking after the win, Chelsea favourite Joe Cole spoke in glowing terms about the academy graduate and heaped

Chelsea, showing the Blues have finally found a long-term replacement for Petr Cech.It had been hoped that Thibaut Courtois or Kepa Arrizabalaga could fill the void left by the Czech shot-stopper.Cech won four Premier League Golden Glove awards for most clean sheets in a season though Chelsea have looked shaky at the back since his 2015 departure.They made Kepa the world’s most expensive goalkeeper after spending £72m to take him to Stamford Bridge from west London.Though the Spaniard is now behind Mendy in the pecking order with the summer signing impressing since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel.Since Tuchel’s first game in charge of Chelsea in January, no goalkeeper playing for a top five European league side has kept more clean sheets in

Champions League quarter-final off to the perfect start with a 2-0 victory over Porto in the first leg.Mason Mount gave Thomas Tuchel's side the lead on 32 minutes, lashing his shot past Marchesin following a sensational turn as he received a defence-splitting pass from Jorginho.Before that, Chelsea had endured a nervy opening 25 minutes with Porto carving out chances and increasingly threatening Edouard Mendy's goal.Porto continued to look dangerous in the second half, but Chelsea kept them out before Ben Chilwell scored a superb goal late on to ensure his side take two potentially crucial away goals into next week's second leg.Here, Daily Star Sport looks at what Tuchel got right and wrong for the first-leg clash against Porto.Mount

Chelsea – if he misses out on top target Erling Haaland.The Blues look certain to be in the market for a striker this summer, despite splashing out on forwards just last year.Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech all arrived under Frank Lampard, but Chelsea still lack a proven No.9.Lampard’s replacement, Thomas Tuchel, has tried a variety of options at centre forward, with none really pressing for a long-term run.Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham have also both been handed chances, but Tuchel has yet to stick with one player.That means Abramovich is prepared to sanction another massive deal when the window opens at the end of the season.

Thomas Tuchel urged the misfiring Chelsea striker to treat his goalscoring woes like being rejected by a woman."If a woman doesn’t want to go out with you to dinner, you cannot force her too," the Blues head coach said."You just step a little bit back and maybe she will call you up.

Frank Lampard looks set to be among a number of potential options for the FA to consider as Aidy Boothroyd’s successor. The England Under-21s boss will be replaced this summer when his contract expires.Following another major disappointment with the side’s failure to progress to the latter stages of the European Championships during the international break, Boothroyd’s deal will not be renewed.New FA technical director John McDermott has a big call to make with his first significant decision in the job.Boothroyd had a host of top young talents that he did not manage to get the best out of.And after calling the role “an impossible job”, out-of-work Lampard could be the man to step in.

Chelsea were hammered by West Brom at Stamford Bridge in a 5-2 result which saw Callum Robinson and Matheus Pereira each score twice.That saw Thomas Tuchel's unbeaten streak as Blues boss come to an end in astonishing fashion.And there were a number of decisions that went against the home side, including a red card to Thiago Silva and a foul on Timo Werner in the box that was never given.In the second-half, Kovacic was shown a yellow card and the Croatian could not hide his anger.He shouted back at Coote: "Shame on you. Yeah, yeah, well done.

Chelsea supporters have called for Frank Lampard to return to the club for a second spell in the dugout following their 5-2 defeat at home to West Brom.The club legend was dismissed and replaced by the former Borussia Dortmund and PSG boss Thomas Tuchel in January - which kickstarted a fine unbeaten run of 14 fixtures.That streak came to an embarrassing end at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, with relegation threatened West Brom scoring five times following Christian Pulisic’s opener.Supporters have now given their thoughts on the recent change in management despite their upcoming Champions League quarterfinal - with many offering tongue-in-cheek responses.One fan said: “Frank Lampard's Chelsea would fight till the end.

Chelsea star Thiago Silva always knew he wouldn't play the full 90 minutes on his return to the first-team against West Brom. But the Brazilian also expected to play more than half an hour at Stamford Bridge.Thomas Tuchel's plan for Silva was to start the 36-year-old on his return from injury - but then replace him with Andreas Christensen.

Chelsea forward striker Timo Werner was given a vote of confidence by manager Thomas Tuchel this week as his struggles in front of goal continue. The German missed a sitter against Macedonia during the international break and with the footage going viral almost instantly, critics have taken aim at the out-of-sorts striker.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has refused to go into detail on rumours linking Erling Haaland with a summer move to Stamford Bridge as agent Mino Raiola talks to interested parties.The former Borussia Dortmund boss is yet to get the best out of Timo Werner after replacing Frank Lampard, and could be backed in the transfer market by Roman Abramovich.The Blues have been named as a Premier League side who might be keen to look at the Norwegian striker, but they wouldn't be the only ones.Raiola was spotted in talks with both Barcelona and Real Madrid officials earlier this week, with Tuchel confirming that the agent is creating a transfer race for his player.Tuchel said: “I will not answer that out of respect for the player and Borussia

Napoli are reportedly no longer willing to meet Chelsea’s £15m transfer fee for their on-loan defender Tiemoue Bakayoko.Bakayoko headed to Serie A on loan last summer and initially impressed for Napoli having been told he was not part of Frank Lampard’s plans.His early performances made a permanent move look likely though Bakayoko has struggled in comparison in recent weeks.And Italian outlet CalcioNapoli24 now claim that Napoli are not willing to meet the £15m fee that Chelsea want.Instead it is claimed that they will negotiate with it being understood that Bakayoko is keen to stay with the Serie A club.Bakayoko, 26, is believed to be eager to continue working under Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso having previously played at AC Milan under

Timo Werner over his fashion choices at Chelsea, admitting it is not his cup of tea.Both are new arrivals at Stamford Bridge having joined from Leicester and RB Leipzig respectfully in the summer when Frank Lampard was in charge.There have been ups and downs for the two of them but they appear to be getting on just fine in the dressing room.However, in a chat with the official Chelsea website, Chilwell admitted that he is not a fan of Werner's choice of fashion.And furthermore, the German is not too keen on his either.He said: "When I was at Leicester, my best friend was Madders [James Maddison] and he’s the same – he loves fashion and he loves to dress differently and wear stuff that nobody else would wear."If I showed him a picture of
