‘I’m not worried about my job’

helping the team as much as I can. I try not to let it affect me.“

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said: “It was a fantastic victory.

“We are in a good place to achieve the top four. I’m very pleased for Dele. It’s been a tough period for him, but I like his talent, his character.

“He deserved it. He is a great talent, only 21, and sometimes we lose the focus on that. Sometimes the expectation is too much.

“He needs to show us nothing, because we trust and believe in him. Dele is not one to be affected if he plays or does not play.

“He’s so strong. He’s a fighter, very competitive. But we need to help him.

“If he doesn’t play with the national team, he needs to compete and give his best to try and win again the confidence of his manager.

“The only way to do that is doing what he did today: scoring the goals and playing like he did.” Meanwhile, Chelsea’s POCHETTINO: ‘Fantastic’ under-pressure manager Antonio Conte, whose side now only have the FA Cup to aim for, said: “I’m not worried about my position.”

That pressure showed as he furiously booted a water bottle on the touchline after Alli’s second goal hit the net.

Conte said: “I’m giving and the players are giving everything. We are working very hard.

“But in the end, we deserve this season. This is our value.

“If we are in this position, we deserve to be in this position. I know I work 24 hours a day for Chelsea. Then the club has to take the decision.

“But I’m not worried. I have got the maximum out of these players.”

Conte said his side paid the price for not being clinical enough.

“We should have been 2-0 or 3-0 up,” he said. “Instead we conceded a goal in the last minute of the first half and that created a problem in our minds and our confidence.”
