Pochettino: Pressure on Chelsea to beat Man Utd

Adjust Comment Print

Chelsea sat 10 points clear at the top of the table just over a fortnight ago, but two defeats, the first against Crystal Palace, in four matches have thrust Tottenham back into contention.

Tottenham had held up their end of the bargain on Saturday, with Kane amongst the scorers on his return to the starting XI after injury, and the England global was delighted with the result.

"This game next Saturday will be different because it's one game at Wembley in a completely different competition".

"We have important injuries and we do not have so many players to rotate. It was a fantastic result". Spurs are flying high in second and are now Chelsea's closest rivals for the title as we enter the final stages of the season.

Bournemouth became the 12th consecutive side to leave White Hart Lane empty-handed as Harry Kane hit the 20 league goal mark for the third season in a row with his side's third.

Tottenham made it seven top-flight wins in succession for the first time since 1967 and continued their pursuit of leaders Chelsea with a dominant 4-nil victory over Bournemouth.

The Denmark global fed Kane, who flicked a wonderful ball into Son's path and the South Korea worldwide motored through on goal before slipping the ball into the far corner for his fifth goal from his last six shots on target in the Premier League.

Harry Kane with only his first start since returning from an ankle injury, was rewarded for his many efforts 3 minutes into the second half when he hammered home from 15 yards to extend Spurs' lead.

Glass now has played 61 playoff games, and said his only other goal was the final tally in a 5-0 victory while with the Penguins. They will also need to score on the power play as they had chances including a 5-on-3 that did not register a shot.

Chelsea have a chance to respond in their game in hand on Spurs when they visit Manchester United on Super Sunday.

"I think we feel as confident as we ever have done, we're moving in the right direction, and we'll try to win as many as we can on the run-in".

On Saturday, Janssen finally scored his first Premier League goal from open play, and the images below show the Dutchman's joy - and relief - at finally breaking that particular duck.

"We fought against everyone". Goals from Leicester duo Robert Huth and Jamie Vardy were canceled out by Yohan Cabaye and Christian Benteke.

Twice West Ham led, through Andre Ayew and James Collins, but twice Sunderland rallied - the first time when Wahbi Khazri scored direct from a corner.

Everton moved into fifth place - above Manchester United, who have played three games fewer - after scoring twice in the final 20 minutes to beat Burnley 3-1 at Goodison Park.

"Leicester fully deserved to win the title last season".

But the Black Cats snatched a point at the death, reward for their second-half endeavour, thanks to substitute Borini while there was further drama at the finish as Hammers defender Sam Byram was sent off for a second bookable offence. Etienne Capoue secured the victory for a Watford side which is all but assured of avoiding the drop.
