adminLIVERPOOL. — Mauricio Pochettino was disappointed at seeing his Tottenham Hotspur side squander two points in an entertaining 1-1 draw at Liverpool but insisted they must still believe they can overtake English Premier League soccer leaders Leicester.
With Leicester not in action until 24 hours later, second-placed Spurs, bidding to be crowned champions of England for the first time since 1961, could have cut the deficit at the top of the table to two points had they won at Anfield on Saturday.
But Philippe Coutinho put Liverpool ahead and it required Harry Kane’s 22nd league goal of the campaign to rescue even a point for the north London club from their visit to Merseyside.
“I know they have a very tough game tomorrow (yesterday),” said Pochettino before Leicester took on Southampton, the club he managed before moving to White Hart Lane. aaThere are six games ahead of us and four points (between Spurs and Leicester) now so we need to believe. In football all can happen,” the Argentinian added. It was difficult to come here and try and win the three points but we were calm and believe in our quality. We feel disappointed but we still need belief. — AFP.
