Mauricio Pochettino praises strength of Tottenham's squad after win in Moscow

Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham proved the power of their squad by beating CSKA Moscow with an under-strength team in the Champions League.

Spurs were without Harry Kane, Mousa Dembele, Eric Dier, Danny Rose and Moussa Sissoko in Russia but still snatched a 1-0 win thanks to Son Heung-min's late winner.

Ben Davies and Kieran Trippier started at full-back and Victor Wanyama came into midfield, while both Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and 20-year-old Harry Winks were given rare minutes off the bench.
