Conte was wrong - Pochettino says Chelsea spending key to title win

The Blues boss said Tottenham should have had an advantage in the battle for the league crown, but the Argentine pointed out a flaw in his logic

Mauricio Pochettino has hit back at Antonio Conte's suggestion that Tottenham had an advantage in the Premier League title race, insisting Chelsea's big spending had more of an influence.

Chelsea were crowned champions on Friday thanks to a 1-0 win over West Brom, which came about thanks to a late goal from substitute Michy Batshuayi.

Head coach Conte had previously suggested that Spurs should have had the edge over his side given that Pochettino is in his third season at White Hart Lane, whereas Conte is in his first in English football.
