Mauricio Pochettino Accuses Reporters of 'Disrespect' After Spurs Crash to Late Inter Defeat

Mauricio Pochettino accused reporters of disrespecting his players following Tottenham's 2-1 defeat against Inter in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Spurs put themselves into the lead courtesy of a deflected strike from Christian Eriksen, but late efforts from Mauro Icardi and Matias Vecino meant that Spurs left the San Siro empty handed.

After the game, a reporter asked Pochettino whether the absence of first team regulars Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld had an effect on the outcome of the match, which prompted the manager to accuse the media of treating his players unfairly.
