Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino claims that his side deserved more from their 1-0 defeat to fellow title hopefuls Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that his side deserved more from their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon.

Spurs enjoyed the majority of possession during the match, but were punished for a rare defensive lapse nine minutes from time when Anthony Martial raced through to score the only goal of the game.

Tottenham were without the league's top scorer Harry Kane, but Pochettino insists that his side did not miss the striker, suggesting that the game hinged on a missed chance from Dele Alli.

"If Dele Alli had scored now the question would be different. It is always about the result. You are always going to miss your main striker but it is not fair to talk about Harry Kane," he told Sky Sports News.

"It was an even game. It was a shame to lose. The chances were for one and then the other. It was a tough game and I think we deserved more. I feel proud of the effort and it was unlucky that in the last 10 minutes we conceded our goal. It was our mistake.

"It is important to be calm and in football these type of mistakes happen. We must fix that and move on. We cannot change the result.

"We contained United very well. Always we were in control of the game. We had the ball but it is true we did not create enough chances to score. In this type of game if you make a mistake you lose."

The defeat ends Tottenham's 100% away record in the Premier League this season.
