Tottenham Hotspur helped blow the title race wide open last night with their 2-0 win over Chelsea.
Speaking to reporters during his post-match press conference, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino raved about his side’s display against Chelsea, highlighting how their performance proved they can achieve big things, but warned that they must keep up the intensity shown during last night’s game, as quoted by the Evening Standard.
The Argentine deserves a lot of credit for how he has managed to turn Tottenham’s season around, after a torrid six-week period thats saw them win just one Premier League game in six outings.

They now sit in third position in the table, after winning six from their last seven, and are just seven points adrift of league leaders Chelsea.
And Pochettino spoke to the media in the aftermath of last night’s victory, pinpointing an aspect of Spurs’ game that they must keep up for the remainder of the season, as quoted by the Evening Standard.

“Our performance showed we can be competitive and we can achieve big things. If we want to fight until the end of the season for big things, for trophies, you need to keep that intensity. That is always the challenge.”
The next month or so could very well define Tottenham’s season, with trips to Manchester City and Liverpool on the horizon, but if they perform like they did last night, there is no reason why they cannot continue there fantastic winning run.
