Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has urged his side to focus on the upcoming north London derby on Sunday, following their 2-1 triumph over Anderlecht in the Europa League last night.
Goals from Harry Kane and Mousa Dembele helped Spurs to edge out their Belgian counterparts at White Hart Lane.
The win also enabled Tottenham to top Group J of the continental tournament with seven points from four games, owing to Monaco’s 1-1 draw with Qarabag in the group’s other match of the night.
And Pochettino, who was satisfied with Spurs moving atop their Europa League group, urged his side to concentrate on their fixture with Arsenal at the weekend however.
“Our objective before the game was to take the three points and to go top of the table”, he told the club’s official site.
