Tottenham breathed fresh life into the Premier League title race as Eric Dier and Son Heung-Min inspired a 2-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Pochettino said: "We knew very well how hard Burnley have made it for other teams here, so I give a lot of credit to my team". I think that reducing three points to Chelsea was important for us. "We are there, second in the table, and now in the last period we must focus and concentrate and try to do our best and take the fight to them". "But for to analyse the game after 90 minutes, we fully deserved this result". We are fighting for the Premier League. "It's a key moment of the season".
"Always I tell the players, "we must show we have learned from last season", that we are clever, intelligent people", Pochettino told the British media. A win for Hotspur will confirm their 2nd position as Manchester City is just 2 points behind them. It's a good feeling because it means even if Chelsea are a big team with big players, it's not done.
He said: "These are bonus points if you take these boys on and beat them because they are so strong". Not quality, running or being powerful but belief, religion and fight.
Winks has sustained an ankle injury, while Wanyama has a problem with his back, and boss Mauricio Pochettino is unsure how long they will be out for.
China warning as tensions over North Korea rise
During a meeting earlier this month with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump reportedly did not bring up the issue. Mr Han confirmed North Korea's sixth nuclear test "will take place", after experts predicted its possibility.
"He is in hospital now, doing scans".
Of course, Spurs still face a very uphill climb for the league title, but entering today there was not really any true hope. We avoided a lot of crosses into our box. We switched off in our minds after Chelsea and we conceded second place to Arsenal.
"We were very applied at the back and togetherness is the key in our team because we know we have the talent up front to score". "That is a good lesson for everyone".
Guardiola admitted playing back-to-back away games against two such formidable opponents is a major test. Scott Arfield should return for Burnley, but they're still going to be missing Johann Gudmundsson and Dean Marney with their respective knee injuries.
It's hard to overstate how much better Burnley have been at home than they have been away. "But we made the performance we had to make to get the three points".
