Pochettino buoyed as Tottenham continue title fight with shining performance at Stoke

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with his side's showing in Monday night's 4-0 win over Stoke City.

Spurs brushed aside the challenge of the Potters to go within five points of Premier League leaders Leicester City who drew 2-2 with West Ham United on Sunday.

When asked if perhaps Leicester are now feeling the pressure, Pochettino insisted that he as only worried about what his team can control which is continuing to produce winning performances.

"I don't know - I am very focused on our team and our job," said the Argentine,

"But all can happen in football. The most important thing is that the performance we showed today was perfect.

"It was a big signal that we are there waiting and fighting."

Both Harry Kane and Dele Alli scored doubles as Spurs sent another message to the Foxes with just four matches left to play.
