Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has likened two-goal hero Reece James’ shooting to that of a horse after the academy graduate bagged a brace in the 3-0 win over Newcastle at the weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blues travelled to St. James’ Park on Saturday afternoon and produced a second-half spectacle led by James, in which the England international pelted two belters home with either foot, before penalty-confident Jorginho put the gloss on an emphatic triumph from 12 yards.<\/p>\n

James’ strikes ensured the attacking full-back has now produced four goals in just seven Premier League appearances for the reigning European champions this season, consolidating his status as one of the country’s most forward-thinking and devastating No. 2s.<\/p>\n

Having also watched Liverpool drop points to Brighton, surrendering a two-goal advantage at Anfield, and current Premier League holders Manchester City producing a limp and rather concerning 2-0 reversal to Crystal Palace, Tuchel’s men solidified their position atop the table.<\/p>\n

Speaking after watching his side dispatch their newly-monied coevals on Tyneside, Tuchel lavished praise on James, whom he says doesn’t need to practise his shooting behind the scenes as he has a natural ability to uncork from any angle.<\/p>\n

“It’s a complex game and I don’t think Reecey can score if Callum [Hudson-Odoi] does not do the dribbling and if Chilly [Ben Chilwell] doesn’t open the space,” Tuchel said.<\/p>\n\n

“We were dangerous on the first post with Kai [Havertz], the middle of the goal with Ross [Barkley], and then the second post even with Ruben [Loftus-Cheek]. Then it’s possible to score on the far post.<\/p>\n

“This is why sometimes our strikers are sacrificing to create space and chances for the others. It will always be like this. Shooting you don’t need to exercise.<\/p>\n

“We don’t need exercise shooting with Reece, he shoots like a horse!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
