Tottenham boss Pochettino on Liverpool setback: Let's stay calm; Son was a pen

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits Liverpool deserved their win at Wembley today.

The Reds won 2-1 at Tottenham, with Gini Wijnaldum and Roberto Firmino scoring for the Reds before a late effort from Erik Lamela.

Pochettino told Sky Sports: "Liverpool were better. We competed, we were close, and the action at the end of the game was crazy and the challenge on Son at the end should have been a penalty. Then the result would have been different.

"Of course I am disappointed with the result but we must keep working and improving. Today was a competitive game you can win or you can lose. There are lots of games ahead.

"There are lots of things to assess and analyse - it's early in the season and this is a moment to be cool and calm. Is this a tough time? Listen, don't worry about me!"
