Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino maintains a warm relationship with Artur Boruc but admits the Bournemouth goalkeeper was a tricky player to manage at Southampton.

Boruc faces Spurs on Saturday, hoping to avoid a repeat of last season's meetings when Pochettino's men trounced the Cherries 3-0 and 5-1.

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in the five-goal mauling at the Vitality Stadium and Boruc endured a day to forget as he conceded an early penalty before twice spilling shots he should have held.
