Pochettino: Tottenham no soft touch now

Ugly scenes marred Monday's 2-2 draw between Tottenham and Chelsea, but Mauricio Pochettino feels his side showed it is not "soft."

Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham has shaken off the reputation as a soft touch, but acknowledged his players overstepped the mark in the fractious draw at Chelsea.

Monday's encounter at Stamford Bridge was packed with incident as a 2-2 draw ended Spurs' Premier League title hopes.

The visiting side had nine men booked and on Friday Mousa Dembele accepted a Football Association violent conduct charge, which looks set to land the Belgium midfielder a lengthy ban.
