Pochettino remains positive after Chelsea defeat

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino has remained positive despite seeing his side beaten 3-0 at Stamford Bridge by Chelsea on Wednesday.

Spurs made a good start to the game on Wednesday evening but were pegged back by Chelsea, who eventually took all three points thanks to goals from Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba and Loic Remy.

However, Pochettino has remained positive following the defeat and chose not to put the blame on his players.

“We need to take some positives from the team tonight,” he told reporters. “I think that we started very well. We created some chances.

“The first chance they have, they score, and the second, they scored. After, the game changed.

“This, I think, was the difference tonight.”

The Argentine boss did however bemoan his side’s failure to take their chances when the score was at 0-0.

“Today, we played good in the start to the game,” he added. “I think we were very brave. And the first chance [for Chelsea], they scored.

“This is football. We need to accept it. If you score, the game changes.”
