Pochettino eager to maintain unbeaten run

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has urged his side to maintain their unbeaten run after Spurs made it 11 games without defeat in all competitions with a 2-0 win over Newport County in the FA Cup.

The Argentine coach admitted that his side's fixture list is about to become congested as they continue to compete on three fronts, but he has targeted an extended run in the domestic cup competition.

"It's the FA Cup and it's difficult. But I am happy because we wanted to be in the next round," BBC Sport quotes Pochettino as saying.

"It is important to keep going and winning games. We are going to be very busy in the Premier League, Champions League and the FA Cup but we want to keep this run."

Spurs will travel to Rochdale in the fifth round of the FA Cup after dispatching Newport in a fourth-round replay at Wembley Stadium.
