Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: We're not where we want to be

Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg admits Chelsea rocked them after halftime for Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Goals from Hakim Ziyech (47) and Thiago Silva (55) settled the win for the hosts.

Hojbjerg said, "It was disappointing. During the break, we felt that we had been pressured, but that there was something to be gained from this match, and then the two quick goals were scored.

"When we finally got through, the quality of the passes was not as we could have wished. We tried to stop Chelsea, tried in different ways to stop their talented players from getting into dangerous positions, but Chelsea is a very versatile team.

"We are not where we want to be yet, but we are working hard to achieve it."
