“But in the second half after Mauricio Pochettino’s substitutions, which were spot on, you saw there was a big change in the game and they started believing.
“Ajax have conceded over 30 goals in the Dutch league, so if you put them under pressure like Spurs did in the second half, that’s the way to do it and that’s what they did.”
