Mauricio Pochettino
believes his men reacted late when Harry Kane lost possession of the ball,
before United milked that moment to score the only goal of the match.
Herrera latched onto
the mistake by Kane and sent a pass towards Mkhitaryan, who made no mistake in
scoring his first goal of the EPL.
The goal was the
difference between the two sides and gave United their first home win in a
while. However, Pochettino defended his men.
He said: “It was an
even game, very competitive. I’m not disappointed with our performance. We
competed in a difficult game.
“The chances we
create were similar to what Manchester United created but they were clinical.
“We had a lack of
reaction when we lost the ball and that was how we allowed them to score. We
need to understand that our offensive players need to take a risk.
“We tried to play
with our philosophy and we tried to create chances.”
