Intro:

Tottenham Hotspur drew 0-0 with Manchester United in the English Premier League on Sunday (28 December).
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino deemed the match a "fair result" and failed to echo van Gaal's concerns over player exhaustion as both teams had to play under the same conditions.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur manager: (on the result)

"I think that it's a fair result, I think that we are more happy for the feeling that we got after this game, but the result at the end, I think, is fair."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur manager: (on whether his team should have been awarded a penalty)

"Yes, maybe. Maybe it was (a) penalty, but because I saw on the TV now, but from my vision during the game it was difficult to identify if it was penalty or not."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur manager: (on the fixture congestion)

"The condition was for both teams the same. I never complain about when the opponent is on the same condition as you. I think that Tottenham, from the beginning of the season, is the team that... has less recovery days in every competition. We are (still) in all competitions that we play. I think that it's impossible, I never complain about that. I think Manchester (United) have the same hours for recovery as us."
