Dele Alli says Tottenham Hotspur are not “panicking” following their 1-1 draw against Watford.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino’s men rescued a point at home after Alli cancelled out Abdoulaye Doucour\u00e9’s opener four minutes from time.<\/p>\n

Spurs’ malaise: Five key things to know\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Spurs went into their game against Watford having won three of their opening 11 games in all competitions.<\/li>\n
  • Doucour\u00e9 gave the visitors a sixth-minute lead before Alli cancelled it out four minutes from time.<\/li>\n
  • It means Spurs have failed to win any of their last three matches, which included a 7-2 loss against Bayern Munich.<\/li>\n
  • Pressure is mounting on Spurs boss Pochettino whose very future has come under question.<\/li>\n
  • Alli, though, says Spurs are not “panicking”, believing better days are ahead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    However, the result extended their winless streak in all competitions to three games, and leaving them with just three wins from their opening 12 matches. Spurs, after nine Premier League outings, find themselves in seventh and five points off the Champions League places.<\/p>\n

    Among those poor results was a humbling 7-2 loss to Bayern Munich which accelerated pressure on Pochettino’s shoulders, leading many to believe his tenure in north London was drawing to an end.<\/p>\n

    Snatching a draw from the jaws of defeat against Watford might have ended their mini losing streak, but it still added more question marks, although Alli is refusing to buy into the narrative that Spurs are feeling anxious.<\/p>\n
