Mauricio Pochettino stated that Tottenham's title dream was effectively over following his side's 2-1 loss at Burnley.

Pochettino, frustrated with the significance of the result, confronted Mike Dean following the loss.

“We made mistakes on the pitch and I made one at the end. I needed to calm down, I wanted to find someone to blame, because we cannot think now of being a real contender," said the Spurs manager.

He added that Tottenham were not consistent enough to win the league.

"We never had the game under control, we can beat Chelsea or Arsenal but to make history you have to win this type of game. Burnley were better than us and I am massively disappointed because we wanted to put pressure on the teams above us.”
