Mauricio Pochettino insists his players must learn from their early-season mistakes and not end their recent run of victories against West Bromwich Albion this weekend.
Tottenham were on a five-game winning streak in September and October but after a stunning 2-0 result against title favourites Manchester City — inflicting Pep Guardiola’s first defeat in English football — they drew away to Tony Pulis’s side and had to rely on a last-minute goal from Dele Alli. They then did not win for seven matches.
Spurs have since steadied their form and have moved to third in the Premier League table with five wins in a row and six in all competitions, including the Aston Villa FA Cup victory.
