Pochettino adamant Spurs still in title race

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is adamant they are still in the title race.

Four consecutive victories in all competitions have moved Spurs to within five points of the top two, while their emphatic 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund has put one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals.

"I am so happy and feel so proud of my squad," he told Sky Sports. "From the beginning of the season no one believed we could repeat last season.

"[But] we are where we are because we deserve to be there. We've competed very well in the last few months, got the results we wanted and kept a very good position in the table while being involved in the Champions League.

"With all the things [that have been] against us we were fighting, and we are going to fight in the future to be in a very good position and try to win.

"But, of course, the moment we have the whole squad available we are going to be stronger than before.

"We will see, if we are able to arrive in the last few months in a good position, that is the moment to push and to achieve the things that we want."
