MORE FROM PARKER
“I’m very proud of my team in terms of the way we went about it second half.
“We’re all bitterly disappointed that we’ve not won a game tonight against a fantastic side.
“There’s no way we’ll surrender, there’s no way we wont keep performing like we are or keep fighting and with that you’ve always got a chance and we have got a chance. “
REACTION FROM PARKER
The Fulham boss told BT Sport:
“I thought the performance was very good certainly in the second half, I thought first half we started well but didn’t play like I want us to play, I didn’t feel we had the demeanour of a top team.
“Second half we were every bit of that and really I thought that we were outstanding.
“As much as I’m pleased with the performance at this moment in time I want to win football matches and myself and the team went into this game believing we could win it.
“Being deadly in fine moments is key, we understand that, but that’s part and parcel of development, we’ve come a long way, we now need to get on the right side of that.”
REACTION FROM MOURINHO
The Spurs boss told BT Sport:
(On Dele Alli) ” He did good work until his fitness allowed him, the same as Gareth (Bale) second match in the same week not easy for them of course.
(On the clean sheet) ” I believe that as a team defensively we were fine, the two centre-backs were solid and Hugo made a couple of important saves to keep the clean sheet.
“Tonight the team that was closer to scoring in the last period of the game was us, we had a chance through Lamela and the one with Kane where he was one on one with Areola.
“I think we deserve (the win) but its always dangerous when it’s 1-0.”
REACTION FROM ALDERWEIRELD
The Spurs defender told BT Sport:
“I think in this period we need three points, they’re a very good team, they play well.
“We should’ve been better on the ball, but without the ball we did everything we could to keep a clean sheet.
“They put us under pressure, we didn’t find our way through to hurt them but then we have to stick together and defend well.
“We have to keep calm and keep working hard, we can play better than we did to day, but the team spirit we showed today, we have to have this in every game.
“Next home game is against Palace, we need to win and every game we go into we need to show character and good football. I think today was a very important three points.”
