Chelsea boss Tuchel: Conte would win a fight between us!

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he'd lose a punch up with Tottenham rival Antonio Conte.

The two managers engaged in a heated handshake at full-time after Harry Kane helped rescue a point for Tottenham to reduce Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

When asked after the match whether he fancied his chances against the Italian, Tuchel showed off his biceps to reporters.

"They had me as the favourite? I'm surprised," he jovially told Sky Sports. "I have no muscles.

Stating that his bicep flaunting was taken in the wrong way, he said: "I did the opposite! People were asking me 'were you rude?' and I said 'I cannot be, I don't have the biceps'.

"It came off as the complete opposite. It wasn't meant that way."
