I have found a home at Chelsea, says match-winner Moses

Mauricio Pochettino is one of those who thought that Spurs deserved a little more than what they got, and told BT Sport that he felt that his side were “unlucky” to leave Stamford Bridge with a loss.

Despite being outplayed for much of the first half, Chelsea went back to the dressing room on level terms thanks to a sublime curling effort from Pedro just before the interval.

Chelsea’s six-match unbeaten streak where they had conceded a total of zero goals was expected to be put under the test yesterday. But as always in football, you need to be clinical in front of the goal and defend well.

“It’s too early, above all after this game, because this league is very tough”, Antonio Conte responded.

Conte’s tactical reshuffling saw Moses employed as a right wing-back in his new defensive system, the catalyst for an unlikely revival that has seen him emerge as one of Chelsea’s most important players.

The Nigerian global, who turns 26 next month, is under contract until the summer of 2019, having signed a new four-year deal just before joining West Ham on loan for the 2015-16 season.

“I’ve definitely found a home here, it’s my club”, Moses said.

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp says he doubts Chelsea’s credentials to win the Premier League title, despite their 2-1 victory over Spurs on Saturday.

In a week where Tottenham were kicked out of the Champions League, a first win in 29 attempts would have been the flawless tonic for Pochettino’s team. Tottenham showed the talent in this league.

“It’s important to continue in this way and improve the confidence”.

DF Branislav Ivanovic, N/R – Still capable of making Chelsea supporters bite their nails nervously when introduced to the field of play, he did a good job of adding steel to the Blues back line when replacing Moses late on.

He was also left out of the squad against West Ham last weekend, before coming off the bench against Monaco in the Champions League, and Pochettino insists it is up to Sissoko to prove his worth. It’s the same as with Pedro. “There was a fantastic atmosphere and I know about this type of football in England”. They started very well with a great intensity, with a lot of pressure when we had the ball.

Tottenham drew first blood on a strong start for the visitors.

City courtesy of Sergio Aguero’s brace won 1-2 away to Burnley, while Liverpool defeated Sunderland 2-0 at home.

“If you want to criticise that (we were knocked out of the Champions League) then okay, I accept that”. Because we pay money, do they deserve to play?
