Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was satisfied with victory over a physical Club America in today's preseason friendly in Las Vegas.

Timo Werner and Mason Mount jumped from the bench to both score in the 2-1 win.

Tuchel later said: "It was tough. First half was tough for us to create clear chances but we had one but couldn't score. Second half we had more solutions and looked dangerous. It was a good first half and very good second half and we deserved to win.

"The match was almost too much, like a cold shower, when you come to this stadium against this opponent."

He added: "We are always happy to come [to America]. The facilities are good and the players like to be here in training camps and have a bit of free time. We can feel the excitement around the teams and sports in general in America. Purely as a coach, you would like to maybe not spend too much time in the heat and in different timezones, but this is nowadays life at a big club. So we are used to it and make the most of it.

"Normally you start against a lower team where you find your rhythm. It's very different to training even if you train at a competitive level like in our squad. You could see that they've already started their season. They showed a physical game that we had to adapt to, I'm happy nobody got injured. It was sometimes on the edge for a friendly game, especially for us."
