Pochettino bemoans Spurs' schedule as 'massive disadvantage'

Mauricio Pochettino described Premier League schedule changes as "a massive disadvantage" to his Tottenham side after they won for the second time in four days with a Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund looming on the horizon.

Son Heung-min's second goal in as many games earned Spurs a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United that moved them up to second in the table, just four points behind leaders Liverpool.

While he gave his players credit for showing the character to force a result against a resurgent Newcastle side, Pochettino also took the opportunity to voice his feelings about having to play Leicester City on Sunday afternoon, just four days before the first leg of his side's round-of-16 clash with Dortmund.
