The Dutch playmaker believes Spurs should have had more than a point for their efforts during Saturday's 0-0 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge

Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has expressed frustration at his side's failure to take all three points from their 0-0 draw with Chelsea on Saturday.

In a game they largely dominated, Spurs were left to rue a number of missed chances, though they did maintain a five-point Premier League lead over their London rivals.

Van der Vaart told the club's official website: "We had a few great chances - including me twice - and I was disappointed, but that's life as a football player; sometimes you miss.

"When the ball was on my left foot it was much easier and I tried to smash it. It's a pity.



"I think we played well today, we kept the ball well, and I think we deserved more than a point."

Despite the disappointment, the Dutchman focused on some of the positives and believes the point can build confidence.

He added: "A point gives us confidence for the next few games, especially to have earned it away from home against a big team. We did well."
