Tottenham boss Pochettino: Lloris great for Dortmund win

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino hailed Hugo Lloris for their 1-0 win at Borussia Dortmund.

Harry Kane struck the winner as Spurs eased into the Champions League quarterfinals 4-0 on aggregate.

Pochettino said, "We are in the quarter-finals. I'm so happy for the players, and the fans. It's an important victory. Of course we suffered a bit but it's ok and we fully deserved to be to be in the quarter-final.

"Hugo Lloris was great. We conceded more chances than we expected but that's football. After losing in the first leg they had nothing to lose.

"It's tough but overall, the objective was to be in the quarter-final and we are there.

"In the last 10 minutes of the first half it was difficult for us. They started to play a little but more and then in the first action when we were able to connect we managed to score the goal.

"Now it's about enjoying that we are in the quarter-final. We need to feel proud. The experience is so important to improve and get better. There's a lot of things we can take from this type of game to make us a better team."
