‘Mourinho won tactical battle with Lampard’ – Hoddle sees progress for Spurs against Chelsea

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho won his tactical battle with Chelsea manager Frank Lampard on Sunday, says Glenn Hoddle, but both sides are considered to be in Premier League title contention.

The heavyweight contest at Stamford Bridge on Sunday saw two fierce London rivals cancel each other out. Spurs headed into the game knowing that a point would be enough to send them back to the top of the table, and that is what they took from a largely uneventful 0-0 draw.

Mourinho, who landed three English top-flight crowns across two spells in charge of Chelsea, is famed for his ability to grind out results.
