Chelsea thump Peterborough 6-1 in secret friendly as Thomas Tuchel names unrecognised XI
Chelsea got their pre-season campaign off to a bright start after successfully dispatching newly-promoted Championship side Peterborough at Cobham. The Blues are said to have won 6-1 thanks to goals from Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic, Armando Broja and a second-half hat-trick from Hakim Ziyech.
This is Thomas Tuchel’s first full season in west London after he arrived to replace Frank Lampard back in January.
The German made history within his first few months at the helm by guiding Chelsea to their second-ever Champions League title in Porto.
Yet the hard work continues at Cobham with most of Chelsea’s international contingent still resting up on their holidays.
It gives Tuchel a chance to look at some of the fringe players in his squad and whether they are worthy of more opportunities.
