Mauricio Pochettino insists Tottenham will still fight to win the
Premier League despite West Ham leaving their title hopes in tatters.
Manuel Lanzini's 65th-minute goal sealed a 1-0 win for the hosts at London Stadium and put Chelsea on the brink of glory.
Antonio Conte's men are in action twice before Spurs play again and,
if they beat Middlesbrough and West
Brom, they will be champions before
Pochettino's side return to action next Sunday at home to Manchester
United.
"We're still fighting, we're disappointed with the result," Pochettino told Sky Sports.
"Now we must wait for the Chelsea result and then there are three games ahead to play.
"I think you all know that now it is more difficult to try to catch Chelsea. But we need to try – always to the end, always."
Pochettino felt Spurs were unfortunate to lose but conceded they
failed to reach the levels they displayed in last weekend's
authoritative 2-0 north London derby win over Arsenal.
"I think in the first half we dominated but created few clear chances to score," he said.
