A second-half Yves Bissouma strike was not enough to head off a 3-1 defeat at Tottenham.
Graham Potter said: “I have no complaints, we just weren’t at our level. You can’t give away three goals and expect to win the game. We wanted to go through but we have played a really good opponent with really good players. I don’t think we were at our best tonight and it wasn’t any lack of effort from our perspective. You have to credit the opponent. I thought Tottenham played well and were aggressive and made it difficult for us. But I thought we also contributed ourselves to some things. This can happen. I thought our personality, our attitude was great but, if we are honest, weren’t good enough to win. I think we need to be at our absolute maximum to win here which we weren’t and Tottenham deserved to win.”
