Tottenham boss Pochettino: Staff kept landmark from me

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was pleased with a landmark win over Burnley.

Saturday's victory proved the 100th Premier League win of Pochettino's Tottenham reign, and he admitted his backroom staff kept that fact from him beforehand, desperate not to jinx the encounter.

"Jesus (Perez) told me before the game they didn't want to tell me because it's a superstition," said Pochettino.

"But now I know. We did not realise, but it's a fantastic achievement for us collectively."
