Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, has admitted his side played poorly against Chelsea.

Goals from Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson sealed a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Ange Postecoglou said: “It wasn’t a great night for us. We didn’t play at the levels we needed to and didn’t deserve something from it.

“We lacked belief and conviction in our game. I don’t know if it is low confidence but we are not playing with the mind-set we need to play the football we want to and that is something I have to look at.

“It is on me to fix it. That is what we will be doing. We had bigger issues tonight than set pieces.”

How do you turn it around? He answered: “Just hard work mate, there’s no major formula. We will work hard and make sure we get it right.”

Mauricio Pochettino will be targeting a sixth-place finish, with Chelsea currently 8th in the league, and just three points behind Manchester United who are currently 6th.
