"Another difficult one to take," Spurs' goalscorer said post-match.

"Before the game, we looked at the game thinking we definitely needed to win, but it's another game that has passed now and we need to realise the position we're in.
"It was difficult circumstances [having a player sent off] but we've had a chat between us and we need to understand we need to improve and improve now.
"It is difficult and hard to say with just words, we need to show it on the pitch but it's something we need to do as soon as possible.
"We obviously need to realise the position that we are in. We know it's been so difficult this season with the injuries, but we can't change that now.
"Us players on the pitch need to take responsibility and ultimately change it as soon as possible.
"It's difficult just speaking, but we need to realise the position we're in and we need to fight for every game. Fight for every result and there are not many games left, so we need to start [winning] soon.
"I think we need to look forward to the next games. We need to see what is going wrong on the pitch, debrief that and change, but we're not in a position to dwell on anything now.
"We need to make sure next game we're going to be at it, see where we can improve and see what we can do to change this form around."
