​Pochettino 'proud' after gallant Tottenham win over BVB

Mauricio Pochettino was 'proud' of his players for fighting back to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at Signal Iduna Park.

The result means Tottenham has sealed top place in Group H, above defending Champions League champions, Real Madrid.

After an embarrassing loss to fierce rivals Arsenal on the weekend, Pochettino was delighted with the way Spurs bounced back in a tough away fixture.

"We are so happy," said Pochettino. "To finish top against Real Madrid, Dortmund and Apoel is a massive achievement for the team. I'm very happy and we will share this with the fans. They were fantastic today.

"After the disappointment of Saturday, it is fantastic to feel again the victory and finish top of the table. After Saturday we were ready to compete here in a difficult game against a big team but that is why we are so proud."
