Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was pleased __with the way his side “dominated” the game in their draw __with Leicester – but admitted his disappointment at the defending for the goal.

Vincent Janssen opened the scoring for Spurs with a penalty in the first-half before Ahmed Musa equalised for the Foxes straight after half-time in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.

Pochettino was happy his side managed to maintain their unbeaten start to the league season but admitted his defenders should have done better to hold onto the lead.

“Disappointed. We created chances. We dominated the game. But I am disappointed with the way we conceded the goal. It’s hard to lose two points,” Pochettino said after the match.

“I was disappointed for the goal as the way we conceded was a little unlucky. I am happy with the performance. We are still strong and unbeaten in the league, that is very important. It’s true we are fighting and it’s difficult to win games recently but the team showed it is strong enough.”

On Janssen’s first Premier League goal, Pochettino added: “I am very happy with him. Since the day he arrived his behaviour and performance is always improving. it’s important to hive confidence and trust in him.”
