Professional football manager, Arsene Wenger said that Manchester City could not find a way through Chelsea’s defence because of the brilliant strategy of Thomas Tuchel, the club’s coach.

Wenger, who managed Arsenal for 22 years said the positioning of two Chelsea inside forwards; Mason Mount and Kai Havertz, was the key to their success.

“I must say that what Tuchel did well is that played Mount and Havertz more inside defensively,” Wenger told beIN SPORTS.

“So Manchester City could never find a way through the middle and had to go wide where Chelsea were quite strong.

“Manchester City had a big tactical problem they could not sort out.

“They’re not balanced, they did not find a way to play incisive football and Chelsea stopped them very well.”
