Yes, this is very frustrating. But we need to keep fighting and be ready for the next game and hope Leicester drop points,” the Argentinian, said.
“In the first half, we played very well. In the second, we lost a little bit of the control of the game and allowed them to believe and to create chances. When you do not kill the game, you always allow them to believe,” explained Pochettino after Albion defender Craig Dawson made amends for his 33rd-minute own-goal by heading home an equaliser 17 minutes from time.
“We need to be calm and assess the season. So far it has been fantastic. We still need to fight and improve. But there are no complaints. We are very proud since the start of the season on how we have played and worked.”
