Spurs boss Pochettino shrugs off barracking of Southampton fans

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino shrugged off the barracking of Southampton away fans during yesterday's win.

Pochettino called his time at Southampton the best period of his life and he clearly enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces at White Hart Lane.

However, his affection was not reciprocated by the sold-out visiting support, with chants aimed at the Spurs head coach from the outset.

"I still love Southampton and maybe I can understand but this is football," Pochettino said of the taunts. "I do not change my feeling, nothing about Southampton.

"For me it was a great moment, a great period of 18 months and always I will be grateful to Southampton Football Club and the people in Southampton."
