Thomas Tuchel gives his verdict on Chelsea's narrow win over Barnsley in the FA Cup

Chelsea have progressed into the 6th round of the FA Cup, as they beat Barnsley on Thursday with the score of 1-0. Tammy Abraham scored the only goal of the night in the 64th minute. After the match head coach Thomas Tuchel talked about the game, saying they really struggled as it was a narrow win against a Championship side. "Yes, I have to be honest, yes [I am relieved]. We can stop analysing it," said the Blues' boss. "It is already done. Chelsea are through to the quarter final, full stop. We can clearly play better, it was not our best performance. To cope with the difficulties today was hard for us. To cope with the pressure, to escape the press in our own half. "We made some changes at half-time and we played better in a different structure to help the team. They did very, very well until we scored a very nice goal but after that the opponent took a lot of risk and played very aggressively. "We struggled to cope with the first challenges and second balls. So, in the end, we were way too deep for too long. We were lucky in the first half to have Kepa save us and we were lucky when Tammy saved us with the header on the line. "We have to admit that we struggled today but in the FA Cup it is sometimes like this. I don't want to be too harsh on the guys in the circumstances. It wasn't too easy but we went through and that's the most important thing." Chelsea's upcoming match is on Monday, against Newcastle in the frames of the Premier League.
