Video: What Mauricio Pochettino said in his Cardiff post-match press conference

Mauricio Pochettino told the post match press conference after the 1-0 Premier League win against Cardiff City that his players need to improve a lot.

Spurs have 18 points after eight games – their joint-best total – and are third in the table, one point behind leaders Manchester City, who are ahead of Liverpool on goal difference.

His side made hard work of their victory at Wembley yesterday to secure the three points after taking the lead after eight minutes when Eric Dier fired home from six yards to score his first goal in the league for over eighteen months.

Cardiff had their chances to equalise and would have been level before the break if it wasn’t for some superb defending from Toby Alderweireld. Warnock’s Premier League strugglers also hit the post in the second half.
