LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel said he was baffled by his side's drop in form after a 1-1 draw nL1N2T1391 at home to a struggling and under-strength Everton on Thursday, saying it was not just down to the absence of key players through injury and COVID-19.

The result left Chelsea in third place, four points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City after 17 games.
