Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel refused to defend Romelu Lukaku after the striker had a record low number of touches in yesterday's 1-0 win at Crystal Palace.

The £97.5million star touched the ball just SEVEN times - and one of those was the kick off.

It is the lowest ever number of touches in a game by a player who has played 90 minutes since these stats began being collated in 2003-04.

Tuchel said: “I'm not so sure I have a good answer to your question.

"It says obviously he was not involved and could not make a good point."
