Chelsea felt like a 'small team' - Tottenham boss Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has stated that defending Premier League champions Chelsea played like the underdogs against his side on Sunday.


Spurs continued their impressive unbeaten run with a 0-0 draw against Chelsea at White Hart Lane and it has to be said that the North Londoners put in a very good performance, restricting their rivals to only one shot on target during the clash.

Following the game, Pochettino expressed his pride at his side's display and stated that his side made Chelsea seem like a much smaller opponent.

Pochettino said: "We played the defending champions and it is good that you get the feeling that Chelsea was a small team and Tottenham feel they can win every game.

"It's not easy. We are one of the younger teams in the Premier League."
