Mauricio Pochettino hailed Tottenham’s “very good position” in the Premier League title race after their last-gasp 1-0 win over Burnley at Wembley. It helped Spurs avoid what could have proved a costly draw, leaving Pochettino relieved but impressed with their current league standing. Argentine boss Pochettino insisted Spurs can hang on in the title race provided they maintain their current conviction. Saturday’s victory proved the 100th Premier League win of Pochettino’s Tottenham reign, and he admitted his backroom staff kept that fact from him beforehand, desperate not to jinx the encounter. 100 - Mauricio Pochettino has won his 100th Premier League game as Spurs manager in his 169th game - 10 games quicker than it took Arsene Wenger to reach the figure at Arsenal.
