Tottenham boss Pochettino elated after 'massive victory' over Man Utd

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was brimming with joy following Monday's emphatic 3-0 win over Manchester United.

Spurs, who hadn't won or scored at Old Trafford since 2014, produced a magnificent second-half display to destroy Jose Mourinho's side. They have now moved into second place on the Premier League table.

And Pochettino couldn't have been happier when speaking to reporters after the match.

"It is a massive victory for us and I am very proud of the performance. It is difficult to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. They were better in the first half but we dominated from then on, and the clean sheet was a bonus.

"It is only the start of the season and we need to be consistent. We need to be realistic but want to keep pushing and building our fitness. A lot of our players have only had three weeks training but we want to build something special.

"This is my fifth year and I have good relationship with my players. We have shared a lot of things over that time and the appreciation is normal. We are in a very important period for our club with the new stadium and everyone is showing a big commitment."
