Thibaut Courtois ridicules drum beat that echoed round Wembley as Chelsea overcame Tottenham

Thibaut Courtois has piled on Tottenham's Wembley woe by ridiculing the 'fake' drum beat that echoed round the national stadium on Sunday.

Spurs will play their home games at the £800million stadium this season while the new home is being built in time for the start of the 2018-19 campaign.

Tottenham chiefs are doing all they can to replicate White Hart Lane's intense atmosphere, including connecting a drum up to Wembley's speaker system in an attempt to generate greater noise.

But the ploy has been widely mocked; even the club's supporters' trust moved to distance themselves from the tactic on Twitter on Monday.
