Tottenham went into their New Year’s Day game against Aston Villa needing a win after they could only draw at Brentford on Boxing Day.
The Londoners fell behind for a tenth Premier League game in a row when Emiliano Buendia capitalised on an error from Hugo Lloris to make it 1-0. “In the first half, we played with good intensity. We didn’t concede anything and we found a team that defended too deep and then we conceded this goal and then the confidence dropped for my players,”“We have to know that our life is this. We have to fight every game for one point or for three points. This is the truth, especially when you are without two or three important players and have difficulties.
“I’m sure that if we don’t concede the goal, we could win the game instead. The goal that we conceded killed us in confidence and in many situations for sure. You have to try and improve and develop these players and especially young players to be even stronger.”
