You may recall that Chelsea ended Tottenham’s undefeated league record with a road win thanks to goals from Cole Palmer and a hat trick from Nicolas Jackson.
After their win against Tottenham, Chelsea moved up to 10th place in the Premier League table, with 15 points.
Despite surrendering an early goal in the first half, Pochettino attributed Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Spurs to his team’s ability to force the hosts to make mistakes.
We put pressure on them to make mistakes,” Pochettino remarked, “but Tottenham was better in the first 15 minutes.”
We started the game pretty poorly, so we need time to establish something before we can compete with a team that is full of confidence.
“After that, we remained cool under pressure and made them make a mistake.”
