Mourinho said he had no complaints with the result, pointing out that his players were being asked to perform 'miracles'. Tottenham's lack of striking options are threatening to wreck their top-four ambitions, although Mourinho's team selection was still puzzling with forward Dele Alli left on the bench and Erik Lamela playing only for 20 minutes.

Asked why Alli had not started, Mourinho said:"We have strange game-plans but we need to have them because there's not another way. For example, while Lamela played so well but only for 20 minutes, you must think I'm an idiot. He was later substituted by Tammy Abraham, who has 13 league strikes to his name this season, while Willian, scorer of both goals in Chelsea's 2-0 win at Tottenham in December was also introduced off the bench."Look at Chelsea, played striker of the world champions . On the bench was the second striker of England after Harry Kane , in the stands the second striker of the Belgium national team ," he said.
