Mouricio Pochettino: 'I'm very, very pleased'

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is pleased with his side’s performance after 1:3 win over Chelsea which was their first win in 28 years since a late Gary Lineker header secured a 2-1 win in February 1990 over the Blues. Pochettino praised Dele Alli for coming through a “tough period” to score two goals. "I'm very, very pleased," said Pochettino. "It's been a tough period for him, but for no doubt about his talent, his character. He's a fighter; very competitive. "If he doesn't play for the international team he needs to fight and win trust and confidence again. "In the end, he's a great talent, only 21 years old, and sometimes we lose the focus on that. "Sometimes the expectation is too much. There is too much pressure." Due to Alli’s goals Tottenham moves to fourth place with eight points clear of Chelsea, who are fifth.
