Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says Raheem Sterling needed his double for victory over Leicester City.

Tuchel admits Sterling had been struggling for confidence ahead of the Foxes clash.

He said, "Everybody is waiting for the goals, he is waiting for the goals, he is here to score and he is never shy to say it and take this responsibility,' said the boss.

"It's on us to give him the opportunities, but there is not one percent of doubt to do it because he has done it for years and years in this league. He is mobile, he is dangerous, he breaks the lines.

"He struggled a little bit with his confidence and his dribbling [against Leicester], you could see it, then we were one man down and it was not obvious he would get chances to score, but he got three of them and scored twice. It was super important not only for us, but also for him individually."
