Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was left ruing two dropped points after his side's 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday.
The north London club needed an equaliser from striker Harry Kane, the England international's 22nd Premier League goal of the season, to claim a point at Anfield after Philippe Coutinho had given Liverpool the lead.
Despite cutting Leicester City's lead at the top of the table to four points with the result - the Foxes play their game in hand at home to Southampton on Sunday - Pochettino was disappointed his side did not win the match.
"The first half was equal, but the second we were right there," he said. "We showed ambition and played well. Maybe we deserved more and the feeling after the game is we dropped two points.
"The game was hard, Liverpool are a very good team, but I am happy and very pleased with the performance.
"In the second half we were better and had the chances, in the first half too, but Liverpool also had some chances. But I am happy, there are a lot of games left, but today was a hard game against Liverpool.
"It is difficult to come to Liverpool and get three points. They matched up how we play, it was difficult to score the second goal.
"I am very pleased with the performance because we played to win, but sometimes in football you cannot always win."
Pochettino will now be hoping that his old team Southampton can do Spurs a favour by taking points off Leicester at the King Power on Super Sunday.
"Leicester have a tough game too against Southampton tomorrow, there are six games left now and we are four points behind, but we need to believe," said the Argentine.
"I think Leicester deserve to stay in the place they are, but in football anything can happen and it was important to show today a good match after two weeks where all our players were away and only one or two days to prepare for the game.
"But now we need to believe and prepare for the game against Manchester United next Sunday, it will be very important to get the three points and fight to the end of the season."
