Pochettino: We were unlucky

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino says his side deserved more in their opening day defeat to Manchester United.

Kyle Walker’s unfortunate first-half own goal was the difference between the two sides, and the Argentinian believes the visitors were unlucky in defeat.

“We played very well and we’re pleased with our performance but dissapointed with defeat,” said Pochettino.

“For the first 20 minutes we managed the game well, we dominated and created chances.”

“We were unlucky because we conceded a goal through our first mistake. After that, it’s true, United started to play the same level as us but in the second half we deserved to score again. We finished the game in a high temp and showed we’re in a good way.”

“We need to be happy. We’re at a good level and we need to believe.”

“It was very different from last season when we didn’t have a chance, but this time we deserved not only a draw but maybe even a win.”
