Pochettino stands by Spurs keeper Vorm despite howler

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is standing by reserve goalkeeper Michel Vorm.

After a howler in defeat to Leicester City in the FA Cup, the Dutchman will keep his place for the Capital One Cup semifinal second-leg at Sheffield United.

"This is football. He made a mistake. Every player can make a mistake, we have full confidence in him and must give him support," the Tottenham boss said.

"He made two big saves against Leicester. His attitude is fantastic and nothing has changed, in one action he conceded a goal."

Pochettino continued: "I think it should be normal to play Michel. All games are important, and (overall he) had a good performance (against Leicester)."
