Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham are 'ready to win a title' after beating Boro
A lone Harry Kane PK split the difference for Spurs, who take a crucial three points to remain in the title race.LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino said Tottenham are "ready to win a title" after Saturday's 1-0 win over Middlesbrough kept the pressure on Chelsea.
Harry Kane's 58th-minute penalty secured a hard-fought victory at White Hart Lane and moved Spurs to within nine points of the runaway league leaders, who beat Arsenal 3-1 earlier in the day.
The win followed a 2-2 draw at Manchester City and Tuesday's goalless stalemate at Sunderland, but Pochettino dismissed suggestions his team are lacking a cutting edge.
