Mauricio Pochettino slams ‘unprofessional’ rivals

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has suggested rival clubs are unprofessional to make clear their preference for Leicester winning the Premier League.

Spurs’ draw at Chelsea on Monday ensured Claudio Ranieri’s men will be crowned champions this weekend. They have been popular victors, completing their remarkable journey from relegation battlers to table-toppers in just 12 months.

While Tottenham, who host Southampton tomorrow, tried to close the gap, a number of opponents expressed their backing for Leicester’s title bid, with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, West Brom manager Tony Pulis, and Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross just some of those to speak out before matches against Spurs.
