'Perfect' Spurs closing the gap

Tottenham not giving up on catching Leicester for top spot

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino said his side delivered a "perfect" message to Premier League leader Leicester City after Monday's emphatic 4-0 win at Stoke City saw Tottenham close the gap at the top of the standings to five points.

Leicester's 2-2 draw at home to West Ham on Sunday gave Spurs the opportunity to reduce the deficit with four games remaining, and they seized it in commanding style with a fourth win in five matches thanks to two goals each from the England duo of Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
