VIDEO: Mourinho sticks up for Spurs players after defeat at Chelsea

Jose Mourinho has defended his players despite a sub par performance as Tottenham lost at Chelsea on Saturday.

Spurs played without a recognised striker at Stamford Bridge and struggled to create chances, while goals from Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso at the other end were enough to secure the points for Chelsea.

Antonio Rudiger’s late own goal wasn’t enough for Mourinho’s men, and the Portuguese bemoaned the team’s lack of firepower after the game while praising his players for doing their best in the circumstances.
