Tottenham boss Pochettino fumes over Son booking

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was angry seeing Heung-min Son booked for diving during their win over Leicester City.

The 46-year-old described the decision of referee Michael Oliver to book the South Korean for simulation as "unbelievable" after he fell to the ground under pressure from Harry Maguire.

"I am more relaxed now because we won the game, but so disappointed with the situation because everyone wants to talk about different clubs or players, but do you think we are a team that is trying to cheat the referee?" said Pochettino.

"Come on, we are the most innocent people on the pitch.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I am a person that always accepts the mistake but I think it was so strange the situation today."
