Mauricio Pochettino Comments on Loss to Newcastle, Tottenham's Season

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino labeled Sunday's 5-1 defeat to relegated Newcastle United his "worst day as a manager," a result that saw Spurs lose the Premier League runner-up spot to rivals Arsenal.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the match, Pochettino made sure to apologise to the club's fans, especially considering it wasn't long ago the team was challenging Leicester City for this season's title:

First of all I would like to apologise to our fans, I think they don’t deserve all that happened today on the pitch and I apologise.
