Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says it was his players’ belief that saw them come from a goal down to beat Fulham 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.

Harry Winks scored in injury time to grab a valuable three points for Spurs after Dele Alli had cancelled out Fernando Llorente’s own goal.

And Pochettino thinks the results shows why you should always continue to “believe” in football.

“It was an unbelievable finish,” Pochettino told BBC Sport. “That’s why it is so important to believe.

“The action is brilliant from Harry Winks, to recover the ball from a difficult position, he believes to score and arrive in the box. It was an amazing cross from Nkoudou.

“Sometimes in football, it is not tactics or formation, you have to believe.”

“Some injuries appear in a period with a more busy schedule and another opportunity opens the door for players not consistently in the starting XI or on the bench. It is great opportunity for different players to show quality.”

On Alli’s injury, Pochettino added: “It is in the left hamstring, I hope it is not a massive problem, but we will need to assess.”
