Tottenham have lost 2-1 against Inter Milan in their opening Champions League Group B match.
Spurs were unable to respond and suffered a third straight defeat for the first time under Pochettino.

When is it?
The game kicks off at 5.55pm on Tuesday 18 September.
Where can I watch it?
BT Sport 3 will be providing live coverage which gets underway at 5.15pm.
Off we go again. Will the deadlock be broken early in the second half?
46 minutes
Both sides content to stand pat and the same 22 players who started the game emerge for the second 45.
47 minutes
Matteo Politano lines up a curler and is furious when a goal-kick is given with the ball flying well wide of the target.
Replays show it may have flicked off Ben Davies. It was wayward nonetheless
49 minutes
Erik Lamela has played in a notably advanced role and is just offside as Harry Kane looks to chip a ball in behind.
At the other end, Serge Aurier shows his pace to recover and beat Ivan Perisic to a similarly lofted ball. The Ivorian is fouled and Spurs get the chance to clear their lines.
50 minutes
The contest has livened post-interval. Radja Nainggolan gets past compatriot Jan Vertonghen and the centre-half clings on to prevent the attack developing.
A booking for Vertonghen.
52 minutes
A clever routine from Inter, with Marcelo Brozovic feeding Matteo Politano from the free-kick but the Sassuolo loanee's end product is poor.
IT IS IN! CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN'S DEFLECTED VOLLEY GIVES SPURS THE LEAD!
From nowhere, Spurs have a goal.
It is excellent initial play from the Danish playmaker, finding space and rifling a low effort on target. Samir Handanovic gets a firm hand away but the ball ends up bouncing back to Eriksen's feet.
His volley takes a huge deflection and loops agonisingly into the net via Handanovic's hand.
55 minutes
Not far from a second. Erik Lamela cuts inside threateningly and has a left-footed effort deflected behind for a corner.
