After his injury-hit team had displayed real character to win 2-0 at Burnley, Pochettino revealed how they had trooped back to the dressing room at Turf Moor to discover that leaders Chelsea had lost 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace.
The injuries forced Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino to change from a 3-4-2-1 formation to 4-2-3-1 at half-time, with Eric Dier moving into midfield, and the England worldwide opened the scoring with a composed finish before sub Son Heung-Min sealed victory with a tap in.
"He twisted his ankle but now we need to see what happened in his ankle".
"When you reduce the gap to seven, it's completely different to 10".
"We're coming out a run five of six games away, of the two home games one was against Chelsea, who are top, and one against Spurs, who are second", he said.
According to our predictions, Tottenham Hotspur will win today's premier league match by 3-1 against Burnley FC at Turf Moor.
Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham can catch Chelsea in the Premier League title race, and he promised his players would keep fighting until the final day of the season.
Dele Alli played Heung-Min Son in for a second, and Spurs could have had more as they went on to dominate. However, despite being the Foxes' closest challengers for much of the campaign, the Lilywhites faltered during the home straight to finish ten points behind the Champions in third place, behind second-place Arsenal.

He noted that there had already been some positive results for the people of Iraq as the fight against ISIS continued. John Dorrian said at the news conference. "This is something that is a despicable and cowardly tactic", he said.
"But I want to repeat that the most important thing is to stay focused on ourselves and we will see where we are at the end".
"I always tell the players we must show we have learned from last season", Pochettino told the Daily Mail.
Exactly as I said a fortnight ago, Chelsea may be winning the title in style in terms of the points dominance they have over the chasing pack, but in terms of winning it with blistering performances week after week then that's far from being the case.
Spurs also confirmed that Harry Kane is still working individually outdoors as he continues to make impressively swift progress in his recovery from ankle ligament damage suffered during last month's FA Cup quarter-final thrashing of Millwall.
Tottenham visit relegation-threatened Swansea City on Wednesday, while Chelsea's lead could be cut further after they host fourth-placed Manchester City, but Pochettino said there was no pressure on the league leaders.
Victory came at a cost for Spurs, however, with Victor Wanyama and Harry Winks both forced off in the first half, the latter's injury looking particularly serious as he was given oxygen on the sidelines after colliding with Stephen Ward.
Chelsea's advantage is still a considerable one with just nine games of the season remaining but now there is just enough hope for Pochettino to cling to in the run-in. The games in between we've got the points on the board.
