Mauricio Pochettino: Unbeaten run means nothing
Spurs began the game on the front foot although it was the visitors who posed the greatest threat on the counter attack.
Harry Kane is convinced that Tottenham’s growing confidence can inspire them to victory in Sunday’s North London derby at Arsenal.
Tottenham have been unbeaten in Premier League play since their first game of the season against Manchester United and are unbeaten in their last 10 EPL games. They had a few chances.
In the 93rd minute, Christian Eriksen, Lamela, and Kane had a attractive connection finalizing in a curling missile in the top right corner for the London native’s 5th of the season.
Fit-again Son Heung-min was introduced following his recovery from a foot injury prior to Ben Davies striking the crossbar, but Anderlecht eventually gained a deserved equaliser.
As a result of his altercation with Gardiner, Townsend has been dropped for the upcoming clash against Anderlecht on Thursday night and is now expected to be handed a fine by the club.
“This is a totally different occasion and it now means that the first time Jack Grealish will have a contact with England is when he is available to play and is selected”.
“The team is growing, maturing”.
Mousa Dembele’s 87th minute victor. Whilst looking forward to the occasion, the Chingford-born forward was adamant his side could go on to take the full three points on the day.
Mauricio Pochettino admits Dele Alli looked a Premier League star from the moment he saw him in pre-season after the midfielder’s goal helped Tottenham to a 3-1 win over Aston Villa.
Anderlecht were excellent in the second half against Tottenham in the game two weeks ago and with Okaka, Defour and Ezekiel up front this is a team that can cause problems for Tottenham.
“We suffered a little in the last 15 minutes when we made a mistake and conceded the goal”. There’s going to be a good atmosphere and we’re going to have great away support there as we always do. “He is much better and we are happy with the recovery”.
“[Kane] is very important for us, even at the beginning [of the season] but now he’s scoring as well”, Dembele added.
“We’re playing very well, we’re exciting, we’re a young team and we’ve got a lot of energy, and the wins will just keep giving us that, but there’s still a long way to go so we’ve got to keep trying to learn and improve”, Kane said.
