Tottenham Hotspur are yet to win a trophy under Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard was keen to remind them of that.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have hit back at Eden Hazard’s comments about them in the Guardian.
Chelsea star Hazard was quick to take a dig at Tottenham this week, following the opening of their new ground.
The Belgian was quick to point out that although Spurs have improved of late, they have failed to win any trophies under Mauricio Pochettino.
He said: “I think Tottenham, for two or three years, have been one of the best teams in England.
“That is for sure. I don’t like that, to be fair – we are Chelsea, and it is a big derby against them – but we have to accept it. For the Premier League it is good: a new stadium, they have top players. But, in the end, you know at Chelsea we have won a lot of trophies, and they have not. So I hope this continues.”
And the comments have left Tottenham fans angry, as they feel that they are uncalled for.
Indeed, Spurs supporters on social media have hit back at Hazard and made their own criticism of Chelsea’s history.
Hazard’s future at Chelsea is uncertain, with The Sun linking the winger with a £100 million move to Real Madrid.
Tottenham could actually play a part in whether Hazard sticks with Chelsea or not.
If Spurs beat Chelsea to a top four spot then the winger seems even more likely to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
Tottenham are currently two places and one point ahead of Chelsea in the Premier League standings.
