Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino happy with goalkeeper Michel Vorm

Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino is confident that goalkeeper Michel Vorm will bounce back from his mistake against Leicester City.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino has backed goalkeeper Michel Vorm to recover from his mistake against Leicester City.

The Dutchman made a costly error at White Hart Lane on Saturday to hand Leicester a place in the FA Cup fifth round.

With the game tied at 1-1 and heading towards a replay, Vorm allowed Jeffrey Schlupp's shot to squirm past him as the Foxes clinched a dramatic 2-1 win.

Despite being at fault for the decisive moment, Pochettino insists that the shot-stopper is still a valuable member of the squad.

"This is football. He made two big saves against Leicester. His attitude is fantastic and nothing has changed. In one action he conceded a goal," the Argentine is quoted as saying by Goal.com. "He made a mistake. Every player can make a mistake, we must give him support and confidence."

Tottenham are back in action tomorrow when they will look to defend a 1-0 first-leg lead away to Sheffield United in the League Cup semi-finals.
