Mauricio Pochettino: 'Leicester City deserved more'

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino admits that Leicester City were unlucky to lose 2-1 to his side in their match at the King Power Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has conceded that his side were slightly fortunate to beat Leicester City in their Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium.

Spurs took the lead in the second minute through Harry Kane, but the Foxes battled back as Leonardo Ulloa scored in the second half.

Nigel Pearson's men had a plethora of chances to earn the three points, but were made to rue those opportunities when Christian Eriksen curled a free kick into the bottom corner.

Pochettino told Sky Sports News: "I'm happy for the result. We started very well, scored early and had many chances to score. After 20 minutes we lost control of the game. It was an open game and Leicester played very well.

"Never in the Premier League is it easy. Leicester played very well. You can never relax in the Premier League. The level of our league is high and Leicester deserved more, because it didn't reflect their performance on the day."

Tottenham are sixth in the Premier League following their win over the Foxes.
