Tottenham star Danny Rose reflects on win.
Tottenham Hotspur left-back Danny Rose has told the club website how he believes manager Mauricio Pochettino would have reacted if they failed to beat Brighton this week.
Spurs edged a narrow 1-0 victory, with Christian Eriksen scoring a 88th minute winner.
Tottenham had dominated the game but found the Seagulls a difficult to break down.
Rose told the club website that he believes Pochettino would have been encouraging towards the team even if they did not get all three points.
He said: “Had we not won today, I think he would have been proud of the attitude and that we kept going but thankfully we’ve won.
“Other results have gone for us this weekend, so now we look forward to a London derby at the weekend and hope we can have a great finish to the season.”
Tottenham boss Pochettino could afford to take a more relaxed approach, because of the club’s healthy position.
Even a draw would have left them in with a strong chance of landing a top four place, with all three of their rival slipping up at the weekend.
Tottenham’s next match is another home game, against West Ham, as they look to maintain their 100 per cent record at their new stadium.
