Mauricio Pochettino has blamed Chelsea's 2-1 defeat by Manchester United on his players being fatigued, but admits that is 'not an excuse' for failing to 'match the Red Devils' energy and aggression'.
After Robert Sanchez expertly kept out a penalty from Bruno Fernandes, Scott McTominay struck twice to seal victory for Erik ten Hag's side at Old Trafford.
Despite Cole Palmer pulling one back just before half time for the visitors, the west London outfit suffered their sixth defeat of the season, but Pochettino, speaking in his post-match press conference said he was not worried about the defeat.
