Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino praises "fantastic" Ryan Mason

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has hailed the impact that midfielder Ryan Mason has made in his side.

The 23-year-old, who has come through the ranks at White Hart Lane, made his home league debut for Spurs in their 1-0 victory over Southampton on Sunday.

Pochettino believes that Mason's attitude has seen him keep established names such as Moussa Dembele and Nabil Bentaleb out of the side.

"He was a fantastic performance," Pochettino told talkSPORT.

"He has a fantastic attitude, like all the players. I am happy with Ryan and happy with them all."

Tottenham sit sixth in the Premier League table following the win.
