00:07 I think we dominated the game in and out of possession.

00:10 Spurs had really problems but you have to score a goal and the meaning of the first goal is so important.

00:16 We said in half-time keep focused, keep on the job to do and keep on the front foot, keep proactive and that's just what we didn't do.

00:26 Then we conceded the goal but we could bounce back immediately, a big chance from Anthony.

00:32 After that we didn't collapse but of course the meaning of the first goal is you encourage the opponent and that is what we saw.

00:42 It's about belief and we believe these players because they did it last year as well can score goals.

00:52 It's also obvious why we signed a striker.

00:58 If everything goes well, Martial is on the way back, Hoyland is also coming so we have more players capable to score goals.
