Jose Mourinho said West Ham United deserved their luck after coming from behind to draw 3-3 with Tottenham on Sunday.
Spurs were up 3-0 after 16 minutes but failed to kill off the game.
David Moyes' side scored three goals in the final 10 minutes, and Mourinho blamed his side for giving hope to the visitors.
He said: "It is easy for me to praise West Ham. They were losing 3-0 for the majority of the game. The game was controlled, they didn't have chances and then late in the game, they score and increased their belief.
"They were lucky but maybe they deserved that luck. We were unlucky but maybe we deserved that.
"Harry Kane hit the post, it could be 4-0. Bale can score the fourth and kill it. Out of context, based on free-kicks and and second balls, they found a style.
"We should be stronger. In the second half they risked quite a lot, pressing up and gave us more space. We should get an occasion to win the game.
"I don't know if it was us inviting them or them with the extra motivation of getting in the game. I cant identify us or them, maybe both."
