'Unbelievable': Pochettino offers special Madueke praise

Noni Madueke put in an excellent performance against Spurs, even if he didn't get on the scoresheet. The Englishman kept the opposition defenders on their toes constantly with his change of pace and dribbling.

Mauricio Pochettino once dropped the forward because of a video of him partying emerged on social media. Overall this season has been a huge learning curve for Noni and he's finally reaping the rewards of Poch's coaching.

The Argentine said about the 22-year-old after the game: "Noni Madueke today was unbelievable.

"If you analyse him at the start of the season – before all the conversations and meetings, the clips and videos, things like this – he was always, like today, capable of doing a fantastic job with the ball.

"Of course, he is an offensive player but without the ball he is doing a fantastic job to help Alfie [Gilchrist] defend. That is what we need for the future, to build this competitive spirit."
