(Video): “It was the third game in six days” – Pochettino’s reasons why Chelsea didn’t win – despite deserving it

Mauricio Pochettino has been speaking to the media about Chelsea’s draw with Brentford today.

His chosen excuse for why his team couldn’t beat a side sinking like a stone in the league was that his side were tired by their recent fixture list:

“It was the third game in six days.” he pointed out.

Brentford were well rested and did look the the fresher team. They like a physical game and they made this match just how they liked it.

But despite being knackered, he thought his team did deserve three points. He points to the chances they created in the 90 minutes.
