Spurs spirit please Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino felt his Tottenham side had showed good fighting qualities in the 1-1 derby draw with Arsenal, as they avoided a third consecutive Premier League loss.
Back-to-back defeats at Burnley and Chelsea had ended any lingering thoughts of a shock Premier League title success, but Spurs still have plenty to play, especially as they are still involved in the Champions League.
The point helps us to keep our belief and build our confidence for the future.

And head coach Pochettino, who saw Hugo Lloris save a late penalty to ensure a draw against the Gunners, was content with what he watched at Wembley on Saturday.
The Argentinian commented: "We showed great character. Our performance was not great, but it was really good to draw. After two defeats it was important to start to build our positive run.
"We deserved a victory, but the circumstances at the end make this point even more important to build our confidence to be sure to arrive in a good condition against Borussia Dortmund.
"Not only the performance, the point always helps us to keep our belief and build our confidence for the future."
Spurs are back in action on Tuesday, when they head to Germany for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Borussia Dortmund, holding a major 3-0 advantage from the first leg.
Tottenham are 13/5 to gain a draw in Dortmund, with the hosts 15/2 to win the game by a 2-1 scoreline, while the Londoners are available at 16/1 to win the Champions League this season.
