Pochettino proud of ‘amazing’ Spurs
The England global was beaten by some brilliant skill from Lanzini with three minutes remaining, though, as he powered a shot into the roof of the net for a late consolation.
They are now just two points outside the top four and a mere four points behind leaders Leicester City.
“To win the title, maybe we need more”.
“It is step by step”.
– Christian Eriksen has been involved in five goals in his last six appearances in all competitions for Spurs (one goal, four assists).
The second half was more of the same with Spurs a potent threat however they were gifted their thrid goal in the 49th minute as James Tomkins gave the ball away to Eriksen who quickly fed Kane and he fired it in low from the edge of the box. The third goal really killed us and it was sloppy play from us. “You could feel from the touchline the players believed in the way we play. It is impossible to bring 20 or 30 players in”, Pochettino said.
Kane started the season with just one goal in his first 13 games for Spurs but has hit back in stunning style to silence the one-season wonder talk.
“I think Tottenham fans are very football insane”, Son told Tottenham’s website.
“The best word to describe my feelings is very proud”.
“I don’t think we should get too excited thinking they can get in to the top four”. With Tottenham 3-0 up, he picked up a needless booking for an altercation with Mark Noble and will now miss Tottenham’s game against Chelsea next Sunday.
Andy Carroll comes into the starting lineup for West Ham United and will play alongside Diafra Sakho in this London derby.
“He is young”, Pochettino said. It’s a lot of things in his head. If we keep working hard and stay with our foot on the ground.
Meanwhile, Slaven Bilic’s Hammers could point to an impressive league run on the road which had seen them pick up thirteen points from eighteen available, this coupled with an equally eye catching sequence which had seen them undefeated in their three previous visits to White Hart Lane.
“A surprise is a word for something good – it was a shock”. Up until the first goal they were pressing but we also had some chances. “We have all the support of our fans and the club’s board members are doing an important effort for making us strong”.
