Pochettino: We dominated and deserved the result

Mauricio Pochettino was full of praise for his side, after he witnessed Spurs put on a brilliant display to beat Bournemouth 3-0 at White Hart Lane.

Spurs were ahead within the first minute in North London, after Harry Kane turned Kyle Walker’s cross into the back of the Bournemouth net.

The Lilywhites didn’t have to wait long before they scored their second, as once again Harry Kane applied the finishing touch after a through ball from Dele Alli found itself in the path of the England striker.

Tottenham eventually secured all three points when Eriksen bundled the ball into the Bournemouth goal in the 52nd minute.

Speaking after the game to Spurs TV, Pochettino said:

I think scoring so early helped us, we dominated and deserved that result,

The performance was good after that, we had control, created chances and we can feel very proud.

This squad is fantastic, the players and the commitment they show every week, not just today but from the beginning of the season.

Pochettino was also full of praise for Harry Kane, after the Spurs academy graduate became the first player to score 20 Premier League goals this season.

He said:

He’s one of the best strikers and we’re happy for him. He’s a special player. He’s a Tottenham person and the way he plays – he’s a fighter, has skills and he’s a fantastic player.

Can Spurs close the gap to Leicester and win the Premier League?
