Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte was proud of his players despite losing to Chelsea on Sunday.

Spurs went down 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, capping their third loss against Thomas Tuchel's side in as many weeks.

"Today, for the performance I have to be proud of my players because we made a big effort and tried to do everything to get a big result," Conte said.

"Then I have to think that in 14 days we lost three times to Chelsea. It means there's a different level between us and them.

"To lose three games in 14 days means they are much stronger than you, as a team and as a squad.

"You have to accept this but only after a performance like tonight. Because we tried everything to get a big result here. But sometimes it's not enough, especially when you play against this type of team. This club are on another level compared to us."
