Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose has heaped praise on Mauricio Pochettino after the North London outfit claimed a share of the spoils in Saturday's derby with Arsenal.

The Gunners held a one-goal lead at half time and it led to a furious Pochettino storming down the tunnel, but Spurs managed to fight back to claim a 1-1 draw at Wembley Stadium.

Rose has revealed that Pochettino changed his regular demeanor in the changing room, and he feels that it was 'one of the best things that he has witnessed in football'.

The left-back is quoted by Sky Sports News as saying: "The manager said some things at half time and that was the turning point because he is usually really calm and collected. He normally talks to us at half time and this time it was like he was really sending us to war.

"That was one of the best things I have witnessed in football, his half-time team talk, and we kept going and that was the attitude he wanted to see in the second half."

Spurs remain in third position in the Premier League table, four points ahead of their fierce rivals.
