Mousa Dembele: We’ve matured

Mousa Dembele believes Tottenham’s cool-headed victory over Chelsea proves how the team is growing up under Mauricio Pochettino.

Dele Alli scored twice as Spurs won 2-0 at White Hart Lane to climb to third in the table, above Manchester City and Arsenal, while spoiling Chelsea’s hopes of sealing a record-breaking 14th consecutive league win.

The result also earned Tottenham a measure of revenge for November’s 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge and, particularly, last season’s 2-2 draw, which ended Spurs’ own pursuit of history when they were gunning for the Premier League title.
