Chelsea won against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley in the Premier League at the weekend.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has told The Telegraph that Tottenham Hotspur fans need to make more noise at the Wembley Stadium in London.

Tottenham will play their home matches at Wembley this season as construction work continues at White Hart Lane.

Spurs played their first Premier League fixture of the season at the stadium at the weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side took on London rivals Chelsea on Sunday evening and failed to win.

Although Tottenham played well, Antonio Conte’s side picked up all three points from the encounter courtesy of a 2-1 victory.

Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois has given his take on the atmosphere generated inside the stadium by the Spurs fans.

The 25-year-old Belgium international goalkeeper, who is one of the best in his position in the world, has said that the Tottenham supporters need to make more noise.

“Tottenham have the capacity now to bring a lot of fans into the stadium,” Courtois told The Telegraph. “If they make more noise it would be better for them because if you have to put some noise over the speakers to make some atmosphere, I don’t think it is working very well.”

The Tottenham players will probably take some time to get used to playing at Wembley regularly, and the fans will need a while to get used to the stadium as well.

Spurs have some wonderful players, such as Harry Kane, Mousa Dembele, Hugo Lloris, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli, and it is hard to see them not getting used to playing at Wembley after a few more games.
