Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said his side put in their best performance since the start of the season as they beat Crystal Palace 1-0.

Mauricio Pochettino says Hugo Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers in the world following his performance in Tottenham's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Heung-Min Son was the match-winner on his home league debut for Spurs, but Lloris pulled off several fine saves to keep Palace at bay, to the delight of Pochettino.

He told Sky Sports: "We need to recognise [Lloris] is one of the very best in the world. His performance was unbelievable, top class.

"I think we are in a good moment and we need to follow in the same way and try to ensure this in every game."

Playing just four days after their 3-1 Europa League win over Qarabag, Pochettino was delighted to see the fitness of his side, and insists they feel stronger now than at the start of the season.
