Pochettino claims Tottenham have over-achieved

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino believes his side are becoming victims of their own success.

Pochettino has masterminded a climb towards the top of the English game without the resources of Manchester City, Manchester United or Chelsea and has done so using young players, adopting an attractive style of football.

But the pressure to back that up with trophies is beginning to rise and Spurs were heavily criticised after their latest disappointment last week when they fell to an eighth successive FA Cup semi-final defeat.
