Mauricio Pochettino disappointed with Swansea City draw

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that his disappointment after the club were held to a goalless draw by Swansea City at Wembley.


The north London giants brushed aside Borussia Dortmund by a 3-1 scoreline in a Champions League game at the national stadium in midweek, but they are still searching for an elusive league win in their temporary home.

Spurs dominated the proceedings with more than 75 percent of the possession, while managing 26 shots in comparison to Swansea City's four. Despite this, they were held to a 0-0 draw for the first time in 30 home games.Pochettino said: "It is very disappointing because we did everything to win. We created chances and dominated the game but were a little unlucky. I am happy with the performance although it is another game we drew here at Wembley and that is no good. I like to talk about my team, we created a lot of chances to score. It is true after the draw to say well done to Swansea and congratulate them for taking a draw."

Spurs did not quite have the luck on their side with referee Mike Dean denying them a penalty after Martin Olsson appeared to handle the ball. Meanwhile, Harry Kane also could not continue his rich vein of form after he hit the crossbar from close range in the second period.As a result, Pochettino's side have failed to score in the first half of all three games at the Wembley, but they will have to wait until after the international break for their next home league meeting against Bournemouth. Spurs will still hope for better results in other competitions with a League Cup game coming up against Barnsley at home on Tuesday night.

Tottenham Hotspur are currently placed fifth in the league standings with eight points, five adrift of league leaders Manchester City.
