Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has turned on his players accusing them of arrogance.

Spurs have lost their past three games since winning at Manchester United.

Asked if his men became ­overconfident following victory at Old ­Trafford, the Argentinian said: “That was my perception and I was right. And I told them.

“If you watch the game again, you will find a lot of answers.

“You can create in your mind a ­reality that is not… it's a perception and it's not the reality, not the truth.

“It happened in a similar way at Espanyol and Southampton – we won games but when we play against teams with the same or maybe better quality than us, we always run six, seven, eight, nine, 10 kilometres more than the opponent.

And this season... it's not that we don't run – we ran two kilometres more than ­Liverpool – but we need more.

“For different reasons, we need to create double chances than another team to score. I go back to Man United, remember in the second half after 70 minutes the two full-backs, Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier, asked to leave the pitch and were ready again to play one week after. Because they were tired. It's difficult to cope in a high-level game working hard."
