Graham Roberts has praised Tottenham’s solid defensive showing at Stamford Bridge and hailed debutant Joe Rodon, Serge Aurier, Moussa Sissoko and Sergio Reguilon for their performancess.
The 0-0 draw will certainly not go down as a classic but it proved a vital point for Spurs, who went back to the top of the table on the back of the result after Liverpool were held to a draw at Brighton on Saturday.
The game took up a predictable pattern, with Jose Mourinho’s men defending deep and trying to hit Chelsea on the counter.
