All the possession? 26 shots? No goals?

Aurier’s expense. But while both Alli and Trippier have creativity in their lockers, just like the rest of their team-mates they couldn’t pick a way through, round or over the Swans defence in a disappointing first half.

Spurs were restricted to long-range efforts which, more often than not, were blocked well before they even got anywhere near Fabianski’s goal. Kane did trouble the Polish keeper early on with a tasty freekick but he got down well to his left and tipped the ball round his post.

And twice Fernandez did well, first heading away Christian Eriksen’s dangerous ball into the area, and then turning over Heung-Min Son’s whipped ball into the box.

Hugo Lloris wasn’t troubled at the other end until Mike van der Hoorn rose well and even then it was only for a split second before the Spurs keeper saw the effort was flying over.

The battle between Davinson Sanchez and Tammy Abraham was one to keep an eye on with the Spurs new boy edging it.

But he’ll need to learn to use his body better than his hands in the Premier League against more wily, experienced, forwards than the Swansea loanee. The second half, thankfully, was a more entertaining affair with Tottenham really upping the ante.

Son, in particular, brought some dynamism that was badly missing in the first half and when he started to attack Swansea at pace his team-mates followed suit.

Trippier’s cross was flicked on by Alli and hit Martin Olsson on an arm but ref Mike Dean, fairly, waved play on.

Pochettino, speaking to Match of the Day, said: “Very disappointing result because we did everything to win.

“We created chances and dominated the game but were a little unlucky.

“I am happy with the performance although it is another game we draw here at Wembley and that is no good.”
