Tottenham players 'heroes' after draw with Chelsea - Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino said his players are "heroes" and have shown they can win any match after their draw with Chelsea.

Tottenham's unbeaten run in the Premier League was extended to 13 games after they played out a goalless draw against Chelsea at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Pochettino was impressed with his team, who travelled to Azerbaijani side Qarabag in the Europa League on Thursday.

He said: "The players are heroes because the effort was unbelievable at the end of a difficult week."

Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League table, a point behind Arsenal who travel to Norwich later on Sunday.

Pochettino said: "It was a tough game but I'm very pleased with the performance and the maturity we showed.

"We probably deserved more and although we are disappointed not to win we should be happy."
