“We should have killed off Chelsea before half-time” – Villas-Boas

Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas, has said that his side would have been out of sight, if they managed to get the second goal against Chelsea shortly before the break.

Brazilian midfielder Paulinho struck the bar, after Gyfli Sigurdsson gave the home side the lead, before John Terry levelled from Juan Mata’s free kick.

When asked if he thought 1-1 was a fair result, AVB said: “I think so. The second half was not as good as we wanted. They did well to score from the set-piece.

“Both teams had good chances, the chances were spread. We had a good opportunity for 2-0 just before half-time; that would have been the killer. Always they were a threat on the counter-attack to score and they did. The result suits them better than us, but it was a very tight game.”
