‘We were better than Arsenal’ – Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino happy to settle for a point in exciting north London derby
Mauricio Pochettino admitted he felt Tottenham Hotspur were the better side during Saturdays north London derby.The hosts fell behind thanks to Aaron Ramseys first half goal, but secured a point thanks to Harry Kanes penalty in a pulsating 1-1 draw at Wembley.2

Pochettino was happy with a point, but felt Tottenham were better than Arsenal

There was late drama in the lunchtime kick off as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw his late penalty saved by Hugo Lloris, before Jan Vertonghen blocked his follow-up.And then Lucas Torreira was sent off for a high tackle on Danny Rose shortly before the final whistle.The result keeps Spurs in third, just three points ahead of Manchester United and four ahead of their local rivals.And Pochettino admitted it was a fair result against Unai Emerys side.2

Jan Vertonghen was clearly inside the box for Aubameyang’s penalty

It was so important so difficult, the situation, he told talkSPORTs Sam Matterface.Of course, I am so happy. The performance was so good, I think overall we were better than Arsenal.But, in the end, you can lose. After, when we saved the penalty I thought there was another penalty against Harry Kane in our box.So maybe we should get the win, but that is football. And that is the excitement of football. When you play against Arsenal; two teams that wanted to win and two teams that are looking forward always are trying to play forward.I think it was an exciting game, a difficult game and for different reasons we suffered.But, in the end, the draw was a good point for us.
