Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: We were the much better team

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was pleased with the performance for their 1-1 draw at West Brom.

Dele Alli struck an 89th-minute equaliser to clinch a 1-1 draw after Nacer Chadli looked to have condemned his former club to defeat.

Chadli, the Baggies' £13million record buy from Spurs in the summer, rammed in with eight minutes left to put the hosts on the verge of a smash and grab.

"We feel a little disappointed," reflected Pochettino. “I think we were much better but in football, you need to score.

“In the first half we managed the game completely and created chances but if you don't open the scoring, a team like West Brom is dangerous from set-pieces and that's how we conceded the goal.

“The character we showed after that was fantastic so I'm happy with the performance but yes, disappointed with the result."
