Managers Reaction
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte: “The only way to put pressure on Arsenal is to get three points and to win. There are nine games to go and for us, every game has to be a final. At the moment they have a good advantage, especially because they are working with the same coach for many years and they have had many transfer markets with the same coach, maybe at this moment they are more ready than us. But in five months we have done a fantastic job with these players and we have reduced the gap with many teams in England. Now in our dressing room, there is only one target in our mind.”
West Ham boss David Moyes: “It’s the opening part of the game that showed it [the tiredness]. I’m incredibly disappointed. If you’re the Under-11s coach you would be disappointed with it. You could not have picked the worst game [at the end of this big week]. It’s incredibly difficult because Harry Kane is an absolute world-class player and if you don’t get it right… we didn’t quite get it right.”
