Mauricio Pochettino says he has no compalints about Tottenham Hotspur's defeat against Manchester City - despite Kyle Walker appearing to handle the ball in City's penalty area in the second half.
The Blues secured three vital points in the race for the Premier League table after Phil Foden's first league goal served to banish the memory of Wednesday night's Champions League quarter-final defeat by Spurs at the Etihad after just five minutes.
Ederson was key to City's 25th home win in all competitions this season, with the Brazil international denying Heung-Min Son and Christian Eriksen with smart stops during the first half.
Bernardo Silva was denied a gilt-edged penalty after being felled by Spurs' Jan Vertonghen before Walker appeared to knock Dele Alli's header out of play with his arm as Spurs hunted an equaliser.
Referee Michael Oliver waved away Tottenham's protestations, and Pochettino says he has no regrets after City inflicted a damaging blow in Spurs' hunt for a top-four finish.
