Chelsea boss Tuchel calls out Boris Johnson over criticism of Roman Abramovich chants

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has questioned Boris Johnson’s “priorities” after the prime minister urged fans to stop chanting for owner Roman Abramovich.

"If fan chants need to be discussed in parliament, maybe we need to worry about the priorities of discussions there."
