Tottenham Beat for Alkmaar 3-1 at home Three days ago to reach the quarter-finals of the 3-2 competition in total.
Postecoglou’s words proved prophetic, with the 15th defeat of Tottenham of the season highlighting the importance of their European campaign to illuminate the darkness around their troubled domestic season.
Postcoglou: ‘Difficult’ for Tottenham
“We had a great opportunity to move on (through Solanke) and then I admitted a truly soft goal and the game was removed from us,” the Australian ran, speaking to the BBC Match of the Day.
“Both goals were quite soft. At least, you want to stay in the game. In the second half we were the best team and we had the best chances up to that point.
