Spurs have already thrown away points late on at Wembley this season, with Burnley sneaking a late 1-1 draw in August with an injury-time equaliser.

While Spurs held on for the win this time around, Pochettino admitted that his side 'suffered' in the closing stages without a two-goal cushion to fall back on.pochettino
Pochettino told BBC Sport: "The team played well. It was difficult to find the space. We had a lot of time on the ball but could not break down the opponent.
"In the second half we found better positions and moved the ball quickly, it was much better.
"We are always suffering if you don't score the second goal. It was good, not great, but enough to win the three points."
The Spurs boss may have a defensive selection dilemma for Tuesday's Champions League trip to Real Madrid after Ben Davies missed Saturday's game due to illness.
The coach added: "Last night Ben Davies was feeling unwell so we had to change but we were always going to play a back four. Jan Vertonghen can play at left-back.
"I am delighted we have won but it is impossible to stop you asking me about Wembley!"
