Levi Colwill has spoken up on Chelsea’s rivalry with Tottenham Hotspur, describing it as ‘the best’ while growing up.

Colwill has faced Spurs since his younger years at Stamford Bridge, and just once as a senior player, and according to the 20-year-old, it is a fixture he relishes.

Speaking to the official Chelsea website ahead of Monday’s visit to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, he said; “We had the best rivalry with Tottenham growing up.

“I can’t really remember if they ever beat us. Playing against them home or away, we knew it was going to be a fight and we really enjoyed it.

“I remember once at Under-16s we played them in a cup game on the match pitch at Cobham, and we nicked it 2-1 or 1-0 in the last minute.

“It might have been a handball and someone scored. They were going crazy and it was the best feeling ever! It shut them up. They were the better team on the day but we got the win and that’s what matters. It was on the match pitch at Cobham.”
