Intro:

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini and his Tottenham counterpart Mauricio Pochettino gave their verdicts on Sunday (3rd May) following City's 1-0 win at White Hart Lane.

Sergio Aguero's first-half goal was enough to secure the victory.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham manager:

"Very disappointed with the result but at the same time happy with the performance. The performance was very good. I think we deserved more this afternoon. We managed the game, the tempo and we created more chances than Manchester City but we didn't score and in football if you don't score it's difficult to win the game."

SOUNDBITE (English) Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham manager (on the race for Europa League qualification):

"I think that we're sixth in the table and we have three games to play in the next few weeks."

SOUNDBITE (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Man City manager:

"Very happy because I think that we played well against a difficult team. A team that beat Chelsea, who are the champions this year with the best defence. Chelsea concede five goals here. So I congratulate Mauricio Pochettino, to his players because they play an attractive football, we also do. I think that's why we saw an amusing game and I think that the fans really enjoyed."
