Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits his defenders cannot continue to outshine his strikers in front of goal if the club are to end the season with silverware.

Twelve of the Blues’ 26 top-flight goals this campaign have been scored by their rearguard following Reece James’ brace in Saturday’s 3-0 win at Newcastle.
