Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson's wonder goal at West Brom has made the top four race "interesting".

Before Chelsea's Premier League match against Leicester on Tuesday - in a rematch of the FA Cup final which Leicester won 1-0 - Tuchel urged his players to keep Champions League qualification in their own hands.

He said: "It was a fantastic header in the last minute that makes things interesting and tight. It's still in our hands.

"The setback for us was the Arsenal game. We let the door open so Liverpool have a foot in the door. They're a strong team and it's what they do.

"We make a huge effort to overtake them and this is what we did. We should be aware of the huge performance we've made so far but we need to finish the job.

"We need to rely on ourselves because we are in the situation where we don't have to look at other grounds."
