Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has slammed Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel for his reaction to defeat at Leeds United on Sunday.

Following the game, Tuchel claimed that his side had been the better team and that the reason they lost was because of Edouard Mendy's error for the Brenden Aaronson opener and then a goal from a set piece.

Speaking on talkSPORT on the morning after the game, O'Hara said: "For Tuchel to come out after the game [and make excuses like] having to get a bus, saying they were the better team and that it was Mendy and that Leeds weren't a better than them. Leeds were way better than Chelsea.

"Chelsea weren't good enough. Give credit where it's due. Leeds were fantastic."

O'Hara continued: "So the players flew? So the coaching staff had to get a [bus]? Oh, poor them!

"The coaching staff didn't play 90 minutes so they didn't have to worry about their legs and all that sort of nonsense so they had to get a coach. What am I hearing?

"The excuses...I'll tell you what, try and listen to the fans and all the people who have got to drive up to these games and do these eight hour shifts.

"What about the Championship teams and the League One teams and the non-league sides that go all over the country on buses? Get in the real world, Thomas."
