Pochettino buoyed by Spurs' stylish finish

Mauricio Pochettino said Tottenham's 3-1 win over CSKA Moscow was more than an upbeat farewell to the Champions League because the performance showed his team has its swagger back.

Spurs were already eliminated from the Champions League before their last Group E match on Wednesday, but they rounded off a frustrating campaign with a dominant display against the Russian champion.

After a difficult period in which Tottenham dealt with injuries to key players and lost its momentum as a result, Pochettino believes his men are back in the groove at a critical point of the season.
