Mauricio Pochettino has described Chelsea’s hard-fought victory against Tottenham as an ‘emotional’ one.

The Blues thumped Spurs 4-1 in their own stadium after the hosts picked up two red cards.

The game marked Pochettino’s first return to Tottenham after four years.

And while giving his reaction afterwards, the Argentine told reporters: “I feel much better, after four years to come back and say hello to all the people, it is a gift for us.

“Very emotional but at the same time, the memories.

“The game was passionate, competitive, being honest we needed three points and it was an amazing day for us.”

Nicolas Jackson (3) and Cole Palmer (1) were Chelsea’s goalscorers on Monday night.
