Pochettino rues Kane misses as Tottenham lose to Arsenal

Harry Kane failed to score again as Tottenham lost to
Arsenal in the League Cup, with Mauricio Pochettino
left to rue missed chances.

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino was left to rue
missed opportunities from Harry Kane as Arsenal won 2-1 at
White Hart Lane in the League Cup on Wednesday.

Kane's goal drought for the season continued as he dragged a
first-half effort wide when put through inside the area before his
expert scissor-kick volley was cleared off the line by Kieran
Gibbs.

Pochettino felt the England striker was unfortunate not to score,
but admits that Spurs were punished for not being clinical
enough.

"Harry had some chances to score tonight, he was a little bit
unlucky again," he told Sky Sports. "I think we had the best
chances but in football, you need to score."

Pochettino believes the hosts were the dominant force before
Mathieu Flamini scored his second of the game to snatch the
win for Arsenal and is determined to take the positives.
"I feel bad for the result but not for the performance," he said.

"The goals we conceded were unlucky. I think, in the second
half, we dominated the game and they scored with their first
shot.

"We have to take the positive things and look to the game on
Saturday. The two goals came from our mistakes."

Midfielder Tom Carroll likewise believes Spurs were made to pay
for failing to make their supremacy count just after Calum
Chambers' own goal in the second half drew them level.

"When we were 1-1 it was all us but we couldn't get that goal,"
the 23-year-old told Spurs TV.

"Tonight just wasn't our night. The lads were gutted in the
changing afterwards but we've got a good squad here and we'll
move on to Saturday."
