Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has stated that Arsenal were fortunate to beat his side in the midweek Capital One Cup clash.

Spurs suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to North London rivals Arsenal in the third round league cup clash at White Hart Lane but Pochettino believes that his side deserved better and that the Gunners were fortunate to come away victorious from the fixture.

Pochettino said: "It was a missed opportunity because we dominated the second half and had the better chances.

"In general the performance was very good and I am happy with the effort from my players, but both goals we conceded were a bit lucky maybe. Also we made some mistakes but this is football."
