Mauricio Pochettino insists his Tottenham players are ‘more than heroes’ despite suffering a dramatic 2-1 defeat to Liverpool.

Liverpool scored a fortunate last-gasp winner
It leaves the club scrambling for a top-four finish – and they could be overtaken by Arsenal if the Gunners get a result at home to Newcastle on Monday night.

“It is not easy to come here and dominate them. After the first half we conceded a goal when there was not too much happening in the game. That was tough for us but in the second half we started playing with a lot of confidence.

“It is now a mini-league – seven games and we are in the top four. It is in our hands.

Moussa Sissoko spurned a glorious chance to put Spurs ahead in the 85th minute, blasting over the bar with only the keeper left to beat, but Pochettino refused to criticise the midfielder.
The Argentine added: “The legs are heavy and it is difficult to be clear to think and it is not his [Sissoko’s] best quality but I am so happy with his performance and commitment to the team.â€
