“I liked the first half a lot. I think we deserved to go up, I think we deserved to have maybe a second goal with Harry's header.
“Second-half, we didn't get the pressing right all the time, they escaped sometimes from the deep build-up into fast attacks so the back four had to work hard to keep the clean sheet.
“We had to overcome some difficult moments but I like it, not everything is easy. Not every win is 2-0, 3-0, 5-0. It is good. We kept a clean sheet and it was decisive in the end.”
Tuchel was also pleased to see the introduction of Foden, Eze and Jude Bellingham from the bench make an impact on the game, with Foden’s crisp pass setting up Eze for a sumptuous finish in the dying stages.
“We had a good impact from the bench,” he added.
“The game became a bit more stretched after we did the subs. We brought on quality players and they wanted to show that.”
