Tuchel Insists Chelsea Deserved To Beat Spurs In Preseason Game

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has insisted his side deserved to beat rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a preseason game following a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

Tottenham Hotspur fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw against the Blues in an entertaining pre-season friendly.

Fresh from Sunday's win over Arsenal in the opening game of ‘The Mind Series’, Tuchel’s men were hoping to beat yet another North London side but that was not the case.

A brace from Morocco international Hakim Ziyech gave the champions of Europe a lead their performance to that point deserved but the visitors dug deep to pull parity thanks to goals from Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn on 56 and 70 minutes respectively.

Speaking to the media after the game, Tuchel said his side were the better team and victory was the only thing they deserved.

"Yeah, we should have. I'm very happy with the first 60 minutes, we started very well and the game was very intense. You could feel the impact of spectators, it didn't feel like a friendly match at all for the first 25 minutes,” he said.

"After that there was a little drop in intensity but the last 15 minutes, with every ball win from N'Golo Kante, there was another chance to accelerate the game. So we did very, very well in this.

"We have active ball recoveries, created good chances, had good control of the ball, good defending. So for 60 minutes, I was very happy.

“We then had a lot of changes and unfortunately, there were two big individual mistakes and Tottenham were very efficient to use them and take away a draw.

"It's not always about the result but there were obvious reasons and there were lot of positives for us to learn from the match."
