Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino reflects on his team's draw with Leicester

Mauricio Pochettino declared himself "very disappointed" after Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Leicester on Saturday.

Vincent Janssen gave Spurs the lead from the penalty spot late in the first half, but Ahmed Musa levelled after the break with Leicester's only shot on target.

Spurs have now drawn three successive games in the Premier League and have not won in five matches in all competitions.

"We were very disappointed with the way we conceded the goal," Spurs boss Pochettino told Sky Sports. "They had only one shot on target, all the stats are in our favour, and we feel very disappointed after that game.

"We always try and go forward, we created chances but we were not clinical in front of goal.

"We deserved more, we played better and were the team always trying to win the game. It's a bit of a shame that we only took one point. It's an important point for them but we have lost two points."

One positive from the game was summer signing Janssen netting his first league goal, albeit from the penalty spot.

"I have been happy with him from when he arrived," said Pochettino. "We are happy with the way he is playing. I understand it is a lot of pressure because Harry [Kane] is injured, but he works very hard every day."

Spurs will be hoping that Kane is fit to return from injury next weekend as they travel to north London rivals Arsenal.

Toby Alderweireld could also be in contention to feature, although Pochettino said: "We will see, it might be difficult for Bayer Leverkusen [in the Champions League in midweek], but maybe Arsenal. If not then they will be ready after international duty."
