​Tottenham boss Pochettino labels Inter Milan loss 'best performance of the season'

Despite losing 2-1 away to Inter Milan, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has said it was their best performance of the season.

Spurs were ahead in the game before Mauro Icardi scored a stunning late equalizer for the Italian side.

And then an injury time goal from Matias Vecino gave them a 2-1 win.

"I'm happy with the performance, we dominated but of course it's cruel the lesson at the end because the team deserves more. It was the team's best performance since the beginning of the season," Pochettino told BT Sport.

"We're so disappointed and annoyed because the players deserve more. In two actions we concede two goals. Until we concede the first goal the game was under control. After we conceded, everything can happen in a place like San Siro.

"Now it's so important to look forward and try to understand that is football and when you're in a negative period you have to bounce back."
