Alderweireld says Tottenham players behind Pochettino

Defender Toby Alderweireld said Tottenham's players are behind manager Mauricio Pochettino after their controversial draw with Watford.

Spurs looked set for a fifth defeat in six until Dele Alli's late strike denied the Hornets a first league win.

The big screen mistakenly said 'no goal' despite the fact the video assistant referee had awarded it.

"Everyone is behind the club and the manager otherwise we could not have put the effort we put in today."
