Mauricio Pochettino hails "perfect" Tottenham Hotspur performance

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insists that his side still believe they can win the title following a "perfect" performance in their 3-0 win over Manchester United.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has described his side's performance in this afternoon's 3-0 victory over Manchester United as "perfect".

Dele Alli, Toby Alderweireld and Erik Lamela scored within six minutes of each other to give Spurs all three points at White Hart Lane, closing the gap on league leaders Leicester City back to seven points.

The Foxes moved to within three wins of the title with a 2-0 triumph over Sunderland in the day's early kickoff, but Pochettino insists that his side will fight until the end.

"The performance was perfect in the second half, we are very pleased. Full credit to the players. It was a fantastic job. Beating Manchester United 3-0, you have to be happy," he told Sky Sports News.

"In the first half both teams were fighting a lot and it was not clear who had the power to manage the game but in the second half we dominated better and started to find space to create chances.

"We believe and still fight, the motivation is big and massive. We need to try to get points and try to arrive at the end of the season with the possibility to win the title."

Tottenham will continue their quest to catch Leicester next Monday when they face Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium.
