Pochettino: Spurs much better than negative Chelsea

The Spurs manager believes his side showed attacking intent and were unlucky to lose to a clinical performance from Antonio Conte's men

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has taken aim at Chelsea's performance after crashing to a 2-1 defeat against the Premier League champions at Wembley.

The Blues had 32 per cent of possession and scored with both their shots on target, as wing-back Marcos Alonso opened the scoring with a delightful free-kick before cancelling out Michy Batshuayi's own goal with an 88th-minute winner.

Antonio Conte set up his team in a 3-5-1-1 formation that included David Luiz in midfield alongside N'Golo Kante and new signing Tiemoue Bakayoko, with Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill unavailable through suspension and Eden Hazard still absent with injury.
