'Chelsea result won't affect Spurs going forward'

What I watched from Tottenham the other night against Chelsea was the most incredible thing I have ever seen.

The bravery they showed with Son Heung-min nearly getting his goal and Eric Dier’s goal ruled out by an absolute fraction... I do not think the result will affect them in any way going forward, not one bit.

I have ultimate respect for what they did. I was sat watching the TV and thinking, 'This high line is unbelievable'. I did think it could be 4-1 the way they were playing, but they almost did it. For them, it did not matter if they lost 2-1 or 4-1. It was the fact they almost won and got something from it - and were trying to win it.

Ultimately, they lost the game because of a poor decision from a player. Cristian Romero got a red card with a tackle he could have avoided and that changed the whole outcome. Not only was it a penalty, it was a red card and that was a moment of madness that changed the whole outcome.

Other than that, I think they came away with much more respect. I am covering the game against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium and that will be the game where they will really be tested to see if they can be up and around the title race

They can still go to Wolves with great confidence but the injuries are where they could come unstuck.

However, they do have Eric Dier coming back in and I think he is a player who can step right back in. Mr Reliable, Mr Spurs. It is a good opportunity for him.

It is slightly worrying the amount of players that have missing but it is an opportunity for some other good players.
