Mauricio Pochettino has said that Tottenham lack the experience and winning mentality of Premier League leaders Chelsea but he believes they deserve more credit for their place in the table.
Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Liverpool left Spurs in second place but nine points behind the Blues, who extended their lead to 10 points with a point at Burnley on Sunday.
Six of Chelsea's starting XI at Turf Moor won the title with the club in 2014-15, while N'Golo Kante arrived as a league champion from Leicester City and David Luiz and Pedro are both Champions League winners boasting multiple European titles.
