Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino eager for Southampton win to serve as springboard for winter run

Mauricio Pochettino has urged Tottenham to emulate last season's winter hot streak after their 4-1 demolition of 10-man Southampton.

Spurs beat Saints 2-0 in December last year and then won eight out of their next 10 matches to emerge as Leicester's closest title rivals.

They now travel to Watford on New Year's Day before hosting league leaders Chelsea and Pochettino wants this win to spark another strong run of form.
