Al in fury at Jordan

to see the action, I think it wasn’t a great action.

“I don’t want to say anything because I didn’t see it. For some comment I think it was a tough action.”

Alli was replaced by Erik Lamela at the break and the Spurs boss added: “We will see if he is injured.

“I think he is tired, tight in his hamstring, but we hope it is not a big issue.”

Pochettino insisted his side, who moved to within two points of second-placed Manchester City, can be title contenders if they produce more performances like this.

Two goals apiece from Heung-min Son and Harry Kane plus one each for Alli and Christian Eriksen handed Everton their heaviest home defeat to the Londoners.

Pochettino said: “I still believe that Liverpool and Manchester City are the real contenders and favourites.

“If we are able to be consistent and play in the way we played tonight, then, yes, maybe we will arrive in April as a real contender – but it is a long way to go.”

Everton have now picked up just two points in their last five games.

“It was a really bad afternoon for us.

“I told the players we have to be more smart, be more aggressive and do the right things to compete in a high level.”
