Former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch insists their poor start to the season is just a "blip".

He wrote for the Daily Mail: "(Mauricio) Pochettino is the best thing that has happened to Tottenham in 20 years. I say that as someone who was at the club in the late 1990s and, again, 10 years later when Harry Redknapp took charge: I've seen good and bad times first hand and I know what I'm seeing now.

"This is a blip, nothing more. I was at Leicester seven days ago and I didn't see too much wrong with their performance.

"They should, really, have won that game and I will argue with anyone who thinks VAR was brought in to decide offside calls like the one which went against Son Heung-min."
