Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino says it is possible for his side to compete for the Premier League title after a 2-1 win at Watford.<\/p>\n
Spurs struck late at Vicarage Road through substitute Heung-Min Son to record a third straight victory and move to within three points of league leaders Leicester.<\/p>\n
Pochettino’s side could begin 2016 in third place after they temporarily moved above Manchester City, who play Leicester on Tuesday, but insists his young squad must not get ahead of themselves.<\/p>\n
“I think that the numbers reflect that it [the title] is always possible,” he said. “But the most important thing for us is to keep working very hard, because we are very young.<\/p>\n
“You need to show the strength during the whole season and, if we start to speak today about the title, it is still most important to work hard and show in every game what we showed today.<\/p>\n
“It was a fantastic victory because a few weeks ago Liverpool had a lot of problems here and lost 3-0. We came here and we were unlucky to concede a goal, on a difficult pitch because the grass was bad.<\/p>\n
