Former Tottenham defender Danny Rose was left struggling for words to sum up his old side’s abject defeat by AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Spurs slumped out of the competition 1-0 on aggregate after a miserable goalless draw in north London. The hosts managed just two shots on target in a poor showing which left Antonio Conte’s exit in the summer appearing inevitable.
Conte fielded an attack of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski but the trio were hugely ineffective against a deep-set Milan defence. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan kept out the best they could muster – Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s stinging effort and Kane’s low header – as Milan came close via Brahim Diaz and substitute Divock Origi.
