Pochettino hails ‘fantastic’ Spurs after 4-0 rout of Watford
Tottenham boss delights at his team’s swaggering display at White Hart Lane as they narrow gap to four points behind league leaders Chelsea before the Blues play Bournemouth
Manager Mauricio Pochettino saluted “fantastic” Tottenham Hotspur’s 4-0 rout of Watford as his title chasers increased the pressure on English Premier League leaders Chelsea.
Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Son Heung-min, who netted twice, were Tottenham’s goalscorers at White Hart Lane and Pochettino was delighted with the swaggering display.
Asked what most impressed him, the Tottenham manager said: “Wow. Many things. We played really well, with a very good energy and very clear in the way that we tried to beat Watford.
“The team deserve full credit because the energy and the way they played was fantastic – 4-0 but we deserved some more goals. I’m very pleased and very proud of that performance.”
Having trailed the leaders by 10 points recently, Tottenham were only four points behind Chelsea before the Blues’ game at Bournemouth later.
