Managers Reaction
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte: “It was a good night for everyone. On Saturday [against Manchester United] it will be a really tough game and we have to show we’re becoming stronger. Since my arrival in Tottenham, I didn’t know if it could be realistic but now after our months of hard work, I think the two players [Bentancur and Kulusevski] complete our squad. Now my expectations have become higher.”
Everton boss Frank Lampard: “Well beaten obviously, started alright first 15 minutes. We spoke about the counter-attack, and we didn’t deal with it well enough. Individual moments of bad defending. Some of those goals are just mistakes. We have to think of the bigger picture, 13 games to go. Teams around us are difficult. Before I came in, there were issues and they are becoming clearer but important the positivity remains, not stupid positivity. This gives me a lot of food for thought going forward.”
