Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino says that his side fully deserved their three points after overcoming Sunderland to win 1-0 at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Tottenham may have won the game thanks to a Ryan Mason goal late on, but ‘deserved win’ seems a little wide of the mark.

Sunderland were in charge of the game in the first half and should have gone in at half time at least one goal in front.

And even in the second half, the Black Cats had good chances and were unlucky in the fact that they hit the woodwork for the second time in the game.

Speaking about the win to Sky Sports after the game, the Spurs boss said: “I`m pleased with the players and it was important for them to be confident.

“It was an open game and I think the result was fair.

“It was a great goal and showed how we want to play.

“It`s fantastic when you score a winner like that.”
