Graham Potter is giving his thoughts, looking, as ever, like a novelist who teaches creative writing on the side. “Probably wasn’t one of our better performances,” he says, “but credit to Spurs, they deserved the win. They’re a good, well-organised side with some fantastic players. We gave the ball away, a little bit unlike us. The first goal was quite cheap from our perspective, the second one’s a deflection that goes in. We responded well after half-time, got the goal, but then their third goal, yeah, it’s not a great one from our perspective. So that took the wind out of our sails, but the boys gave everything.”
And that’s me done after an absorbing day that didn’t quite deliver the shocks it promised. Thanks for your company, your correspondence and your outrage when I mentioned Jose Mourinho.
We have a match report! It’s by Sam Dalling at the Tottenham stadium and it’s here.
