Chelsea pair Jorginho and Tuchel see light side of Everton fans fireworks

Chelsea were able to see the light side of last night's fireworks ahead of their clash at Everton.

It has emerged that fireworks were let off outside the Hilton in the city centre - where Thomas Tuchel's squad were staying ahead of the game. Videos surfaced online throughout the night of a number of occasions with fireworks and other loud noises being set off.

And Jorginho has admitted that it did disturb his own sleep. He told Sky Sports: "Yes it was a bit noisy...I woke up and was like 'what's going on here?'

"We knew that maybe it would happen. We just went asleep again to be ready today."

Speaking ahead of the game, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was asked by Sky Sports if he was woken up by the early hours antics.

He replied: "Little bit. Woke up twice. I think that was the target. But I turned on the other side after one minute and continued my sleep - not a big impact!"
