Tottenham Hotspur have drawn three successive games in the Premier League.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino once again bemoaned his side’s lack of ruthlessness in front of goal, following their 1-1 draw against Premier League champions Leicester City at White Hart Lane yesterday, as quoted by Sky Sports.

Tottenham have been on a worrying run of late, despite being the only remaining unbeaten side in England’s top flight, and have managed to score just three goals in their last five games in all competitions.

Their troubles in front of goal have coincided with the absence of Harry Kane, who suffered an injury during Spurs’ 1-0 win over Sunderland in September, and they must be desperate for their main striker to return to action.

Pochettino spoke to reporters in the wake of Tottenham’s 1-1 draw and claimed that, despite the need for his side to become more clinical, he feels that they deserved more against the Foxes, as quoted by Sky Sports:

“We always try and go forward, we created chances but we were not clinical in front of goal. We deserved more, we played better and were the team always trying to win the game. It’s a bit of a shame that we only took one point. It’s an important point for them but we have lost two points.”

The result leaves Pochettino’s men in fourth position, three points behind joint leaders Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, before their crucial trip to the Emirates to take on the Gunners next weekend.
