Managers Reaction
Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira: “I think it was a really good team performance. I think we started the game quite well, with a lot of energy. We competed quite well, managing to win the ball quite high. I’m really pleased with the performance we had today.”
Tottenham head coach Nuno Espirito Santo: “We didn’t play a good game. I thought it was going to be tough here, but we didn’t perform as we showed before, and, honestly, I believe we should be much better.” he added. “There were too many obstacles during the game, always trying to find solutions, so it was a tough day for the boys. After going down to 10 men, it becomes much harder. We have to analyze it but we have a lot of work to do.”
