FA Cup: Ian Wright identifies mistake Tuchel made after Leicester City defeated Chelsea 1-0

Arsenal legend, Ian Wright, has identified the mistake Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, made following his side's FA Cup final 1-0 defeat to Leicester City on Saturday.

Leicester City defeated Chelsea at Wembley Stadium thanks to Youri Tielemans's second-half goal.

But Wright believes Tuchel made a mistake by playing Reece James as one of Chelsea's defenders in a back-three alongside Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger.

According to him, Tuchel should have played James on the right-back.

"I think you have to say Reece James did a good job, but I think for me that was a bit of a mistake from Tuchel," Wright told BBC Sport after the match.

"I would have played Reece James on the right because I think they lost that trust."

Wright added: "This is what it's about. This is what you dream about.

"For a club like Leicester, with everything they have been through, it is fitting that they are able to celebrate this moment with their fans. I am delighted for them."
