Tottenham Hotspur lost at Manchester City this afternoon.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has no complaints over the Kyle Walker incident at Manchester City today.
Spurs’ hopes of finishing in the Premier League’s top four suffered a bit of a blow by losing 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon.
Phil Foden opened the scoring after five minutes for what turned out to be the winner, but Tottenham were denied a potential penalty on the hour mark.
Referee Michael Oliver failed to spot a handball from former Lilywhites defender Walker, but Pochettino is refusing to complain.
He told Football London: “I’ve nothing to say. It’s always about the interpretation of the referee. For sure if I watched the match from this action I could have a better idea of what happened.
“Nothing to say and nothing to complain. That’s football. Sometimes it’s for you, sometimes against you. We trust in the referee and trust in their decisions much better than any system. Always I’m going to defend and back the decision of the referee.”
Pochettino’s side remain third, but if Arsenal and Chelsea both win their next Premier League games then Tottenham will finish the long weekend in fifth, with four games left.
It could be that the North Londoners – who eliminated City from the Champions League in midweek – need to win that competition to book their spot in the tournament next term.
