Tottenham's loss to Chelsea latest example of Wembley heartbreak

Related Topics: Win, Chelsea F.C.

For the fifth time in six matches since the start of last season, Tottenham Hotspur side failed to win at Wembley, losing 2-1 to Chelsea on Sunday in their first home Premier League game of the season.

For Spurs fans, including the 73,587 there, the match followed a horribly familiar pattern. Mauricio Pochettino's side were the better team for long periods, finishing with 68 percent of the possession and 18 shots to Chelsea's nine, but poor finishing and sloppy mistakes were their undoing, and the visitors scored from their only two shots on target.

Playing well but succumbing to a sucker-punch (or two) has been the story of Spurs at Wembley under Pochettino.
