Mauricio Pochettino insists Tottenham can still challenge for the title this season

Danny Rose scores Tottenham's winner against Burnley

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino reckons his side can still challenge for the Premier League this season after the 2-1 victory over Burnley.

Danny Rose clinched all three points with a superb second-half strike after Dele Alli had earlier cancelled out the opening goal form Burnley's Ashley Barnes.

Pochettino's side endured a sticky period through October and November but they appeared to have turned a corner, having won four out of their last five matches.

Tottenham now sit fifth in the table, 10 points behind leaders Chelsea, who stretched their winning run to 11 games with a victory at Crystal Palace.

"Are Chelsea out of sight? No, it's true that we have a 10-point gap with Chelsea," Pochettino said.

"But in football anything can happen. There are lot of games to play. Not only because last season was a similar gap with Leicester, eight or nine points in that period.

"I think our position is good. Now we are winning games, keeping the gap now a little bit closer to second position.

"It is not tomorrow, not in a few weeks, that the Premier League finishes. I think it's still a long way until the end of the season."
