Liverpool fans cheering Lacazette goal against Tottenham is a sign the club are progressing, says Pochettino
When Alexandre Lacazette put Arsenal ahead against Tottenham, it wasn’t only the thousands inside the Emirates who cheered.On Merseyside, Liverpool fans were also celebrating and that’s a good sign, Spurs’ manager, Mauricio Pochettino, believes.“[Tottenham chief scout] Steve Hitchen was at the Liverpool game against Everton and watched our game beforehand,” he explained ahead of his side’s Premier League match against Southampton.2

Alexandre Lacazette scored Arsenal’s third goal in their 4-2 win over Tottenham

“And when Arsenal scored their third goal all the Liverpool fans celebrated.“It’s clear we are doing something good. I don’t like it when [our opponents] don’t celebrate because it’s normal to beat Tottenham.”Pochettino also said Arsenal’s players celebrating the north London derby win with changing room selfies is also a mark of respect.Shkodran Mustafi was one of them, who posted a photo on Instagram with the caption: “north London stays red.” “When the people celebrate like this, it’s because people respect you and see you as a big club,” Pochettino said.“When we arrived here (in 2014), normally Arsenal were always above Tottenham. But now, for the last two seasons we were above them. It was a massive win for them and of course for us it was a massive disappointment but it (the celebrations) showed the respect that we got in the last few years with our results.“Maybe we still will not win a trophy, as the people say, but the respect for the way we are doing things is the most important thing.”Pochettino was not criticising Spurs’ rivals, however, but believes social media celebrations should be reserved for truly special occasions, labelling himself an old man in the process.“Obviously if you win a trophy, like I won when I was a player, it is a moment to celebrate.“For me, this is my mentality and I don’t want to say it’s right or wrong. If you win, of course celebrate and show the fans you are happy. It’s fantastic but when you win, when you win a trophy, when you win something special.“In the end, Arsenal-Tottenham, we are 30 points each, we are in a similar position, still a lot of games to play. To be sporting enemies is a fantastic thing, but I don’t want to criticise what people want to do.“Look what happens with it. I go with my dog to the park but the most important thing [for others] is not to share time with the dog, the walk but to share with [their] followers. I am an old person. Old mentality.”2

Pochettino is not a social media fan and believes changing room selfies are best suited for proper triumphs

Tottenham welcome Kieran Trippier back to the first team and is available for theSouthampton game.The right-back has been suffering from a groin injury since early November, whileJan Vertonghen will miss the match through suspension.
