Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho believes his team was unlucky to lose to Leicester City.

The Foxes outwitted Mourinho and his high flying Spurs team on Sunday.

Leicester came away from London with an impressive 2-0 win, thanks to a penalty from Jamie Vardy and own goal from Toby Alderweireld.

"We didn't start well. I could go on the individuals but I don't," Mourinho told Sky Sports.

"But in our best period in the first half when we were totally in control and had a couple of good chances to score, expecting to go in 0-0 you go with 1-0 down.

"Then in the second half we score in our own goal when we had possession and we were in more creation. That was difficult. The reaction was positive.

"Schmeichel made a couple of important saves but in the end it's the game we lose with the penalty and the own goal and it looks like, with the result, the opponent was totally in control or better than us but that was not the reality.

"Our performance was not good but it was not like they deserved to win, or we deserved to lose. It was a poor game."
