TOTTENHAM’S Wembley woes returned as they failed to break down Swansea.
Spurs thought they had ended their Arch hoodoo with their 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. But there will be questions raised again after this Swans stalemate.
It means Mauricio Pochettino's men have failed to win any of their three Premier League matches at their temporary home so far.
They dominated this game but could not make a breakthrough against the resilient visitors who rode their luck at times.
Harry Kane tested Swansea keeper Lukaaz Fabianski with a 35-yard free kick in the ninth minute.
Heung-min Son then almost scored a replica of his Champions League goal against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday when his near post shot was tipped into the side netting by Fabianski.
Tottenham continued to pile on the pressure without creating many clear-cut chances. And he does point out that they defeated Chelsea at home last season and in the FA Cup Final, as well as in a penalty shoot-out in the Community Shield.
Wenger said: “In the last few years, Chelsea has had great teams so it was always difficult to win there but our record against Chelsea has been good, we won (at home) last year, we won the FA Cup final, on penalties in the Community Shield so let’s focus on the quality of our game and not too much on where we play.” Spurs claimed a penalty in the 56th minute when Dele Alli flicked on Trippier's cross and the ball hit Martin Olsson's hand. But ref Mjke Dean waved away appeals.
The hosts then went even closer when Fabianski blocked Son's shot and Moussa Sissoko pulled the rebound back for Kane, who thundered a shot against the bar. Ex-Arsenal keeper Fabiabski was having an inspired game against his former North Londoners and the Pole pulled off a fine save to keep out Kane's near-post header before tipping Alli's overhead kick over the bar.
