Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has hailed his fullbacks after Saturday's 3-0 win over Leicester City.

Reece James and Ben Chilwell both grabbed assists in the stunning win at King Power Stadium.

Tuchel said: "I think we understand better the whole team, me included, where we can take risks and change and adapt our positions.

"That's not to go fully over-confident or do crazy stuff, but we have a bit of wild momentum and freedom in our offensive movements.

"I think the wing-backs can adapt their positions to 'half-positions' to support our attackers. I think it is a matter of repetition and understanding from each other.

"They do very good, no matter who plays. [Cesar Azpilicueta] and Marcos Alonso have had fantastic matches in this position and here it was Reecey and Chili.

"We want to be dangerous and accelerate the game from certain spaces and so they are allowed to do it."
