Mauricio Pochettino hails 'important' three points as Spurs sink Hull

LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino nearly paid the price for drinking too much water during Tottenham's 3-0 win over Hull City, but the manager was delighted with the fluidity of his side's changed formation.

Pochettino had to run to the bathroom after Christian Eriksen scored his and Tottenham's second goal midway through the second-half, before Victor Wanyama added a third after the Dane's free kick was saved.

Eriksen was one of several Spurs players to thrive in Pochettino's 3-4-2-1 formation, with the playmaker opening the scoring from close range from wing-back Danny Rose's cross before the other wing-back, Kyle Walker, crossed for his second.
