Roy Keane "angry" with Tottenham after Chelsea thrashing in scathing rant

Roy Keane was left feeling "angry" by the performance of Tottenham against Chelsea on Sunday as Nuno Espirito Santo's side collapsed following a promising start.

Thomas Tuchel's men ran out 3-0 winners in north London following goals from Thiago Silva, N'Golo Kante and finally Antonio Rudiger as they went top of the table with 13 points from five fixtures.

Despite performing well in the opening stages and going in level at the break, the home side fell apart during the second-period and have now slipped down to seventh in the table.

Keane in particular was riled up by the disappointing display as a neutral while on duty for Sky Sports, calling out the efforts of the players – including Harry Kane.

Speaking about the winning side, Keane said: "I thought Chelsea were excellent, we know what they’re about, real quality, a lot of energy, desire, men v boys.

"I can’t believe how poor Spurs were but you can have an off day and lose to quality but lack of desire like we saw with the second and probably third, all the goals.

"Talk about putting your body on the line. The game is 90 minutes long, they done well in the first half, it doesn’t matter. It’s over the course of the game, you get through your difficult spells, try and survive, stay in the game.

"Chelsea had an amazing team you seen it with the substitutions they brought on, pure quality.

"I’ve no problem with Tottenham being short of quality, (but) even Kane’s body language today, his performance today Kane, oh my goodness.

"I’m pretty angry watching Spurs there, you talk about football, the second goal the difference between desire and wanting to win a football match we seen that.

"Tottenham players not doing the basics, I’m talking about closing someone down, putting your body on the line, that comes from within, we can criticise maybe the coach and a lot of other stuff but get to the ball, stop the shot, put your body on the line."

Santo later told BBC Match of the Day: "There were a lot of things that went wrong. Let's start with the first half – I think it was a good game, competitive. We were on the the front foot, started pressing high, creating problems and had chances.

"In the second half, the set piece and goal changes the game. Then it becomes much harder, the game totally changed and Chelsea took control and were the better team in the second half.

"It's difficult, but I'm proud of the first half and of all the game because we had troubles in team and the players went to their limits."
