Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino has backed goalkeeper Michel Vorm to recover from his mistake against Leicester City.
The Dutchman made a costly error at White Hart Lane on Saturday to hand Leicester a place in the FA Cup fifth round.
With the game tied at 1-1 and heading towards a replay, Vorm allowed Jeffrey Schlupp's shot to squirm past him as the Foxes clinched a dramatic 2-1 win.
Despite being at fault for the decisive moment, Pochettino insists that the shot-stopper is still a valuable member of the squad.
"This is football. He made two big saves against Leicester. His attitude is fantastic and nothing has changed. In one action he conceded a goal," the Argentine is quoted as saying by Goal.com. "He made a mistake. Every player can make a mistake, we must give him support and confidence."
Tottenham are back in action tomorrow when they will look to defend a 1-0 first-leg lead away to Sheffield United in the League Cup semi-finals.
