Tottenham 'fighting for bigger things' than finish above Arsenal - Pochettino

This is a modal window.

At 21-years-old, Dele Alli is quickly becoming one of the Premier League's best, but can he one day be the world's best?

LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham Hotspur are not focused on finishing above rivals Arsenal, insisting the club are "fighting for bigger things" this season.

Arsenal's 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday left them 14 points behind their neighbours -- Tottenham's biggest advantage since 1963 -- with eight Premier League games to play. Tottenham can confirm a first finish above Arsenal in 22 years with victory in the North London derby at White Hart Lane on April 30 depending on results.
