Tottenham had to come from behind after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang slotted the opener in the 31st minute, and they did so thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
The result ensured Pochettino’s men qualified for the knockout stages of the competition as group winners.
After the disappointment of the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday in the north London derby, Pochettino was delighted with the response of his side.
“It’s fantastic. I think the reaction after Saturday (2-0 loss at Arsenal) was very good,” Pochettino said.
