Mauricio Pochettino - Spotlight on
The north London outfit were knocked out by Liverpool last night in the EFL Cup fourth round, slipping to a 2-1 defeat at Anfield.
Pochettino played Vorm instead of number one choice Hugo Loris in goal.
Vorm pulled off some big saves, but he was unable to prevent Daniel Sturridge scoring twice.
And Pochettino was quick to laud Vorm’s display.
“He made some key saves. Michel is a fantastic keeper, we are lucky to have Hugo and him, and of course youngsters like Pau Lopez and all the younger keepers,” Pochettino said.

“We are very safe in goal with Hugo and Michel – he was fantastic today but we’re a little bit disappointed because it was a competition which is a good opportunity for different players to play more.”
