The manager was impressed with his side's effort at Wembley, although Riyad Mahrez's goal left him annoyed
Mauricio Pochettino praised Tottenham for their performance against Manchester City but was frustrated to lose through a "cheap" Riyad Mahrez goal.
The champions claimed a 1-0 win at Wembley on Monday thanks to a sixth-minute strike from Mahrez, who dedicated his goal to former Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha after he died in a helicopter crash.
Spurs competed well on a pitch left in ruinous condition by Sunday's NFL match, with the surface seemingly taking its toll when Harry Kane and Erik Lamela both wasted clear chances to equalise with poor touches.
