Thomas Tuchel defended Antonio Rudiger after the Chelsea centre-back was at the heart of a mass confrontation on the final whistle following Jorginho's stoppage time penalty that condemned Leeds to defeat.

In a fiercely-contested and controversial match between two old enemies, Chelsea came out on top thanks to a Mason Mount goal and two penalties from Jorginho, each time after Rudiger had been fouled.

And when referee Chris Kavanagh finally blew for full-time, a fracas involving players, substitutes and some members of the coaching staff took place by a corner flag.
