Mauricio Pochettino rues Tottenham's derby draw against Arsenal

The Hindu  

Mauricio Pochettino felt Tottenham Hotspur was deserving of all three points despite needing Hugo Lloris to save a stoppage-time penalty in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Arsenal. It looked as though Pochettino's men would fall to a third straight Premier League defeat for the first time since 2012 when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang went down under minimal contact from Davinson Sanchez in the box, but the Gabonese's weak penalty was kept out by Lloris. RELATED | Tottenham 1 Arsenal 1: Lloris' late penalty heroics gives Spurs welcome relief "But of course I am so happy with the character, the personality and the way that in the end we played. Pochettino bemoaned an early Granit Xhaka tackle on Kane that went unpunished, while he hopes next season's introduction of VAR will help to eradicate some of the perceived injustices against his side.
