Pochettino Call Arsenal's First Goal a Turning Point

Tottenham Hotspur threw out a two-goal advantage to equalize Arsenal. Mauricio Pochettino regretted conceding at the end of the first half.

Tottenham had a 2-0 lead when a visit to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday (01/09/2019) night in the fourth week of the English League match. Christian Eriksen's goal and Harry Kane's penalty gave Lilywhites the lead over their north London rivals.

But the shadow closed the first half with a two-goal lead dispelled by Alexandre Lacazette in injury time. This goal is also called Tottenham Manager Mauricio Pochettino as a modifier of the game.

This goal struck Tottenham mentally while providing confidence to the host. Until finally Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made an equalizing goal and a 2-2 score lasted until the fight was over.

"The goal that entered our goal in the last action in the first round gave confidence to Arsenal. Of course it was a big emotional blow for us because from here, in one action, you sank," Pochettino was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.

"For them the same as before, they were down and suddenly their emotions were high and confidence in football was a matter of emotion. Certainly, if we did not concede at the end of the first half, I think we would win the match."
