Chelsea's 1-0 win over Brentford on Saturday saw the Blues move to the top of the Premier League, but the victory was marred by Romelu Lukaku's continued goal drought.
Lukaku, who signed for Chelsea in a club-record £98 million deal from Inter Milan, has now gone six games without scoring a goal for the club.
However, manager Thomas Tuchel is not concerned about Lukaku's form, praising the striker's selfless approach to the game.
'I am not concerned as I felt him a bit tired, and then isolated because we were defending too deep as a block,' Tuchel said.
'Normally the best thing is that he scores but he is very unselfish at the moment, looking for Timo in good situations.'
Despite Lukaku's struggles in front of goal, Tuchel remains confident that the striker will eventually break his drought.
