LONDON (Reuters) - Mauricio Pochettino praised his Tottenham Hotspur side's "best 45 minutes" in his four-and-a-half years at the club despite a costly 1-0 defeat in the Premier League by Manchester United at Wembley on Sunday.

Third-placed Tottenham's second successive home defeat left them nine points behind league leaders Liverpool and should Manchester City beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday to go five clear, it will surely be a two-horse race for the title.
