Jose Mourinho: Tottenham draw was the best Chelsea performance of the season

Jose Mourinho insists Chelsea produced their best performance of the season against Tottenham

JOSE MOURINHO insists Chelsea produced their best performance of the season in the goalless draw against Tottenham.

The defending Premier League champions have endured a difficult season so far, securing just 15 points from 14 league games, which sees them languishing in an uncharacteristic 14th place.

This has seen Mourinho's job come under threat with a host of manager's being linked with the top job at Stamford Bridge, but the Blues have kept faith in the 52-year-old.

And Mourinho reckons the display against their London rivals was some of the best football he has seen from his side this season.

"I am more than happy with the performance. I am happy with the team collectively. It was the best Chelsea performance of the season, against a dangerous team.

"My players did everything to try and interpret my defensive ideas the with ball."

The Portuguese boss also admitted that his side should have taken all three points away from Spurs - where they have won just once in their last nine trips.

"We had control of the game and had the best chances.

"My team deserved more than a point."
