I did not see Sissoko elbow - Pochettino

Moussa Sissoko may face retrospective action from the FA for an elbow on Harry Arter that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino failed to see.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino claimed he did not see the incident which could result in retrospective action against Moussa Sissoko following Saturday's goalless draw at Bournemouth.

Sissoko came on as a 72nd-minute substitute for Dele Alli and should have seen red eight minutes later for a needless elbow in the face of Harry Arter as the pair tussled for a loose ball at a throw-in.

Despite the incident occurring on the touchline next to the two dugouts, Pochettino insisted he missed it and was more eager to discuss his side's inability to establish a two-point lead at the top of the Premier League table in the early kick-off.
