Spurs boss: Why we should have beaten Arsenal but I'm so proud of 'fantastic' team


Spurs boss: Why we should have beaten Arsenal but I'm so proud of 'fantastic' team
Mauricio Pochettino said he was proud of his players after the draw with Arsenal
MAURICIO POCHETTINO insists Tottenham deserved to beat Arsenal as they had chances after going in front.
 
The Spurs boss saw Harry Kane give his side the lead at the Emirates but Arsenal punished their failure to kill the game off in the second half.
Kieran Gibbs equalised with just over 10 minutes to go, although Pochettino claims he was happy with his side's performance.
"Yes we should have won but I feel very proud of the players," he said.
"We played very well. You need to kill the game. When we were 1-0 up we had chances to score again."
Pochettino's team are now just one point behind Manchester United and a place in the Champions League.
They appear to have come a long way under his tutelage and put in an accomplished performance despite being put through their paces by Anderlecht in the Europa League on Thursday.
 
"The effort was brilliant," he added. "The level we showed and the commitment was fantastic. It’s the way we want to carry on.
"In six days we've played three matches, maybe we felt it in the final minutes. We need to recognise we are a very young team. This experience is very important.
"We need to show we are maturing. The level we have today is good, we need to show more and to improve. It's early to set a limit or to expect a lot of things."
