Pochettino not too disenchanted at Monaco draw as Tottenham prepare for Swansea

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was left disappointed with the 1-1 Europa League draw at Monaco, but praised his players for their performance.


Spurs looked set to win the game in the principality before Stephan El Shaarawy equalised nine minutes from time following Erik Lamela's 35th-minute opener.

Pochettino has now shifted his focus to the weekend's Premier League game against Swansea City as the North Londoners look to machete four league wins in a row.

He said: "I'm disappointed but at the same time, I'm happy with the performance and the effort, that was brilliant.

"We've played a lot of tough games in the last few weeks and we need to praise the players because the effort from the squad has been fantastic.

"Now we have to be ready for Swansea, another difficult game."
