Tottenham Hotspur failed to win against Bournemouth in the Premier League at the weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has told BBC Sport (14:39) that his side should be winning games like the one against Bournemouth.
Spurs failed to win against Bournemouth away from home at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The North London outfit played out a goalless draw with the Cherries, having also drawn with West Bromwich Albion away from home at The Hawthorns last weekend.
Tottenham manager Pochettino has admitted that his side should have picked up all three points from the match against Bournemouth.
The Argentine boss, though, has stated that he is happy with the point and the effort.
“If we want to be contenders, we need to win games like these,” Pochettino told BBC Sport (14:39). “They were very aggressive.
“It was tough with the kick-off early in the morning and we were better after 15 minutes. We did not create enough chances to score but I am pleased. The effort was good.
“We have a very busy schedule and it is a good point looking back on it. We are battling for the top and we missed a opportunity to be in that position.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hosts Bournemouth had just 38% of the possession, took eight shots of which only one was on target, and earned seven corners, according to BBC Sport.
Visitors Spurs had 62% of the possession, took 16 shots of which four were on target, and earned four corners, according to BBC Sport.
Tottenham will return to action on Tuesday evening when they take on Liverpool away from home at Anfield in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
