Mauricio Pochettino says his Tottenham Hotspur side "did everything" to try to beat Swansea City at Wembley, after Spurs were forced to make do with a 0-0 draw in the Premier League encounter. 

Tottenham dominated possession against Paul Clement's men and ended the game having enjoyed 26 shots at goal, while Swansea registered just four efforts. 




Harry Kane came close for Spurs in the 58th minute, but his shot hit the crossbar, while Pochettino felt his men should have had a penalty when Serge Aurier was brought down in the penalty area late on; referee Mike Dean would not give the spot-kick as he felt Aurier handled the ball.

Overall Pochettino was left disappointed with the draw, but has no doubt his side did all they could to take three points.
 


"Very disappointing because we did everything to win. We created chances and dominated the game but were a little unlucky", Pochettino told the BBC.

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

"I like to talk about my team, we created a lot of chances to score.

"It is true after the draw to say well done to Swansea and congratulate them for taking a draw", he added.

The Tottenham manager also bemoaned a penalty not being awarded, but believes his men should have made sure they were ahead in the game by the time of the incident.

"It is so clear. What is not clear is why Mike Dean justify in front of our players that it was handball but it was not handball.

"If you are not sure about the situation then why say it was handball? It was unlucky but we need to look at ourselves and try to be better next time and score before this situation.

"It was unlucky for us. We did not get the one penalty we deserved. In that situation the referee had a no good afternoon", he added.

Following the draw, Tottenham are still to register a league win at their temporary Wembley home.

They will have to wait until the visit of Bournemouth on 14th October for their next attempt.
