“The team are not as fresh as we wanted, not just legs, but minds, so we have to congratulate the players. I’m so proud of them,” said Pochettino.Although Arsenal can close the gap to one point if they win at Wolves today, this was a vital result in Spurs’ bid to qualify for next season’s Champions League via a top four finish.
Tottenham can take another step towards securing their top-four berth in Saturday’s crucial London derby against West Ham before focusing on the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Ajax next week.
