​Pochettino urges Tottenham to ignore five point gap with leaders Leicester

Tottenham remain just five points adrift of surprise leaders Leicester following a convincing 3-0 victory at Norwich on Tuesday night.

Boss Mauricio Pochettino wants his players to focus on accumulating the points to reduce this gap.

"The gap with Leicester is five points and a lot can happen in football but our next game is against Watford and we need to keep this mentality," Pochettino said.

"We cannot be distracted by the table. It is important for the supporters, but for us it is important to arrive in the last few games with the possibility to fight for big things.

"But for now we have a way ahead of us - and a lot of games - and we need to be focused every day, improve in every training session, and try to win every game."
