Thomas Tuchel sends message to Saul Niguez after Southampton win in Carabao Cup

Thomas Tuchel thinks Saul Niguez has taken a ‘huge step’ after his display in Chelsea’s penalty shootout victory over Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening. The Spaniard has struggled to make an impact after arriving on loan from Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window. Saul was handed third start for Chelsea in their Carabao Cup tie against Southampton and Tuchel’s side were taken to penalties with Reece James scoring the winning spot kick. And after the game Tuchel said:
"It was a good match, it was a huge step in the right direction for him.   "I am happy. We thought maybe he would be struggling with the intensity and thought about [substituting him after] 70 minutes, 75 [minutes], but he got better and better, had chances and shots.   "We thought let’s keep him [on the pitch] and give him the minutes. It was a good step for him."
