(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel on Monday refused to single out misfiring striker Romelu Lukaku for further criticism following his display in their Premier League loss to Manchester City.

Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by league leaders City on Saturday and Tuchel had expressed frustration with Lukaku's performance after the match but said on Monday that it was wrong to pin the blame for the team's performance on a single player.
