The former Chelsea boss believes his side had an advantage over the Blues in the second half.
“It was a bit of a struggle but how many chances did they have?” Jose Mourinho said on BT Sport after his Tottenham side were beaten by Chelsea.
“We didn’t have the ball, correct, we didn’t create in the first half, correct. But the struggle was the penalty. In the end, a penalty decides the game. In the end, they score a penalty which is not a penalty that you say is a dangerous situation, one on one, almost scoring. It’s a penalty that is difficult to accept and to lose the game like this is a bit painful.
“But in the second half we were different and Lucas [Moura] and [Erik] Lamela helped to change the dynamic. The feeling I have is that we kept together until the end. To finish with a positive spirit helps.
“Vinicius is a player with an incredible spirit but his understanding of how to press is something he’s still not comfortable with. Then in the second half, it was much more difficult for them, we pressed them much better and higher and in the second half I believe we deserved a little bit more.”
Spurs are now three points behind Chelsea who are now sixth in the Premier League table. They are just 4 points behind Liverpool in the fourth place which means that the Blues have very chance to challenge for the top four.
