Speaking after the game, the German was asked whether Lukaku had enough service.

And he said: “Sometimes he needs to do the service.

“He’s included, he had many ball losses without any pressure and in very promising circumstances.

“He had a huge chance.

“He is included, we want to serve him but he is part of the team.”

Lukaku missed a huge chance before Kevin De Bruyne got City’s winner.

He was played through on goal, opened his body to shoot with his left but he put it at a nice height for Ederson who batted it away.

But Tuchel also pointed the finger at his other attackers.

He said: “We had eight or nine offensive transitions [in the first-half] and zero touches in the box.

“That was a big problem today, offensive-wise, the performance of the front players.

“That was down to a lack of precision, timing, and composure.

“At a level like this we lost too many balls too easily.”
