Spurs downed but Poch stays calm
Tottenham 0-1 Atletico

Mauricio Pochettino was pleased with his young Tottenham side yesterday, despite losing 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in a pre-season friendly.

Atletico defender Diego Godin scored the only goal of the game, as Spurs fielded a young starting XI that included new signings Vincent Wanyama and Vincent Janssen.

However, the Spurs boss remained positive and felt had it not been for Atletico keeper Jan Oblak, they may have taken more from the game.
