"I think Chelsea. We played against Chelsea here, their coach is very smart too," Tottenham full-back Emerson told Brazilian Youtube channel Camisa 21 when asked to name the most difficult team to play against in the Premier League, as quoted by Sport Witness.
"In the first half we were superior in some parts of the game. The second half came and he put a little engine there called Kante.
"That’s when the game totally changed. Chelsea are a team that attack very well and defend very well."
"Lukaku," Emerson added when asked to name the best player in the Chelsea squad. "My God. Very strong, very strong, very smart."
Back in September, Chelsea swept Spurs aside in north London, with Thiago Silva, Kante and Rudiger getting on the scoresheet in a 3-0 win.
