LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel looked far from happy as his side were second-best for 45 minutes of Sunday's London derby at Tottenham but his halftime 'talk' and a key substitution again underlined the German's dramatic impact at Stamford Bridge.

With the score at 0-0 Tuchel hauled off ineffective England midfielder Mason Mount at halftime and sent on N'Golo Kante for his first action since being injured at Liverpool on Aug. 28.

Asked to explain the marked difference between his side's performance before and after the interval, Tuchel said he had spoken to his players at halftime about their attitude and intensity -- both of which he demands at the highest level. Tuchel described Kante as a"unique player" and the fact he is now back from injury augurs well for a Chelsea side that is beginning to look ominously strong right across the pitch.

There were some positives in the first half with Tanguy Ndombele impressing on his first start league start this season. But the sight of another low-key display by striker Harry Kane will be a worry for manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
