Son Heung-min again came to Tottenham's rescue as he struck a late victor to send his side second in the Premier League after a 1-0 success over Newcastle. Every single game, get three points, that's most important.

"No. Why? Never", Pochettino replied when asked if he would be cheering on Arsenal.

"We have broken the record with wins away from home, our points record [at this stage]. but the dream is the dream - my dream is to win the Premier League or Champions League, to win the FA Cup or the Carabao Cup".

Pochettino said Spurs had tried to find a solution to the situation with Janssen wanting to leave, and added: "Always, he behaved well". I am going to watch only and accept the result.

With the game approaching its final 10 minutes Spurs made another change, Danny Rose on for Lamela, and they nearly went ahead when Eriksen flicked goalwards from a corner but Ritchie cleared.

"But we are close. and we will fight to the end to be as high as we can".

"For different reasons he can't go away - reasons that are hard of course to understand for me. Today we will train and prepare and will see if he's in condition to win".

The South Korea star's shot from the edge of the area looked harmless, but it went through the grasp of Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka and into the middle of the goal in the 83rd minute.

Pochettino was again full of praise for the 26-year-old, who he compared to a long-life battery.

Tottenham struggled to break Newcastle down for much of the game despite dominating possession, with Newcastle content to maintain a compact shape by keeping men behind the ball in an effort to frustrate the hosts. Sonny is like a battery that you have - you work, work, work until the battery is gone. He is like this, he gives you everything and when he's exhausted he says "I need to change' or needs to rest".

My decision was to open the door and invite him in again.' Janssen has played four times for Tottenham's Under-23s but is not considered ready to feature against Newcastle, who beat Manchester City on Tuesday to give Pochettino a glimpse of second place. 'I used it once, from my house to the training ground and it was so unsafe I gave it back, ' said Pochettino.
