Mauricio Pochettino Praises Tottenham 'Statement' After Man United Thrashing

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino believes his team made a statement on Monday night by beating Manchester United 3-0.

An excellent brace from Lucas Moura backed up a goal from Harry Kane, as the Londoners turned on the style in the second half to sweep aside Jose Mourinho's men. Afterwards, Pochettino admitted this was a significant moment for his team, per Dejan Kalinic of Goal:

"I think it's so important because it puts us in a very important position in the table.

"Another negative result today and it's open again, [people would say it's] difficult for Tottenham to win away from home against the top six again.
