Pochettino marvels at Spurs character and personality

Tottenham showed impressive character to dispatch Manchester United 3-0 after seeing title rival Leicester win, says Mauricio Pochettino.

Mauricio Pochettino praised Tottenham for dealing with pressure applied by Premier League leader Leicester City after his side dispatched Manchester United 3-0.

Tottenham headed into the White Hart Lane clash - delayed by half an hour due to United's team bus getting stuck in traffic - trailing Leicester by 10 points after Claudio Ranieri's side beat struggling Sunderland 2-0 earlier on Sunday.

But goals from Dele Alli, Toby Alderweireld and Erik Lamela inside a frantic six-minute period during the second half secured a first win over United on home turf for 15 years and means Spurs head into the final five games of the season with a seven-point deficit to claw back.
