Pochettino delighted with Spurs win at Crystal Palace

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with their 3-1 win at Crystal Palace.

Harry Kane cancelled out Jan Vertonghen's first-half own goal before, in the 84th minute, Dele Alli used brilliant control to flick the ball over Mile Jedinak and volley into the bottom left corner. Even after Nacer Chadli added a fine third deep into stoppage time it remained the defining moment of the match.

"He showed tremendous quality, it will be shown around the world on every TV," Pochettino said. "It was fantastic. I am very pleased because it was a difficult game. They (Palace) had a clear week to prepare, we played against Leicester in the FA Cup (in Wednesday's 2-0 away victory). I'm pleased because the performance and effort was fantastic from the squad.

"I think Dele shows his quality in every game. He's capable of that. He has fantastic potential, (he's) difficult to price like Harry Kane. They have big potential because they are very young. We need to keep working hard."
