Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino admits that his side deserved nothing more than their 1-1 draw with Southampton at St Mary's.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that his side's 1-1 draw with Southampton this afternoon was a "fair result".

Spurs missed the chance to move into the Champions League places having been held by the struggling Saints, who took the lead through a Davinson Sanchez own goal before Harry Kane restored parity.

Tottenham were missing Hugo Lloris and Christian Eriksen through illness, but Pochettino stressed that their absence was no excuse for the level of the team's performance.

"A few players were affected last week but it's not an excuse," Pochettino told reporters in his post-match press conference.

"We are disappointed because our game wasn't great, our performance wasn't the best. The game was even and full credit to Southampton because they fight and play well.

"I think it is a fair result in the end, 1-1. There were massive chances we had in the last minute with Harry Kane but at the end if you analyse the game it's a fair result."

Spurs could now end the weekend five points adrift of the top four should Liverpool beat Swansea City on Monday night.
