Mauricio Pochettino described Tottenham Hotspur’s performance in the 2-0 home win against Manchester City as “nearly perfect” as he demanded consistency from his players to underpin a Premier League title challenge. Spurs brought the passion and they could even afford to miss a second-half penalty through Erik Lamela. We are a team that always wants control, City want the same and then it becomes a battle on the pitch. I talked about that today – you can win or lose but don’t regret anything or anything you show on the pitch. Two players wanted to shoot and that’s always better than nobody wanting the ball.
