Tottenham Hotspur defender Younes Kaboul has admitted that the team performed poorly during Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Chelsea in the Premier League.

Spurs conceded four second-half goals at Stamford Bridge as their hopes of Champions League qualification were dealt a blow.

Kaboul, who was sent off in the build-up to Chelsea's second goal, believes that the Tottenham players should be disappointed with their weak performance.

"The thing I'm upset about is that we fell apart after 2-0," he told the club's official website.

"After that, we fell apart really and it's not good enough for the club. We have to do much better than that, even if there are consequences in the game that go against us."

Spurs return to action on Thursday when they host Benfica in the first leg of the Europa League last-16 tie.
