It was so important so difficult, the situation, he told talkSPORTs Sam Matterface.Of course, I am so happy. The performance was so good, I think overall we were better than Arsenal.But, in the end, you can lose. After, when we saved the penalty I thought there was another penalty against Harry Kane in our box.So maybe we should get the win, but that is football. And that is the excitement of football. When you play against Arsenal; two teams that wanted to win and two teams that are looking forward always are trying to play forward.I think it was an exciting game, a difficult game and for different reasons we suffered.But, in the end, the draw was a good point for us.
Spurs arent too good at stopping their opponents at dead ball situations with five of the 11 goals they have conceded coming from them in the Premier League. Two have come from corners, one from a set-piece and two others from penalties (both against Wolves). Arsenal meanwhile, are a team who are good in the air and at these situations having netted three goals from corners and two from set-pieces.
