'We more than matched a good side'

Ange Postecoglou spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Tottenham's defeat against Chelsea: "It is a sore one, a painful one.

"We started the game really well but as our season has been going, we lose [Cristian] Romero after 20 minutes and that disrupts us a bit and they score straight after.

"We had moments to get our third and at half-time we were in a decent position. The second half is a ding dong, especially at the start, they scored but we had a big chance with Son, we didn't take it and then they 3-2 up.

"I thought both penalties were poor decision by us, we have to show more discipline. In the end the critical moments got us.

"I think there were quality opportunities but I don't think there was an abundance of them. I can't remember the keepers making a load of top quality saves.

"We more than matched a good side in that department and when there is quality out there you are going to have moments.

"There were things we could have done better for sure."

On picking up three further injuries: "Obviously Romero was really disappointing. He felt something in his quad after 20 minutes and couldn't continue.

"Brennan [Johnson] wasn't well and he tried to sort himself out at half time but he just wasn't up to going out there.

"Micky [van de Ven] was just a bit tiredness. The plan today was always to try and give him 60 or 70 [minutes]."
