Bilic disappointed with Spurs result

Slaven Bilic says he was disappointed in West Ham’s result against Spurs but not the performance insisting his team defended well, didn’t give space and showed pride to come back.

In his post-match interview he said:

“We are disappointed with the result. We started really well. We defended well, with shape and didn’t give them pockets of space. Before the first goal we had lots of attacking opportunities but we didn’t use it. Then we make a mistake and their finish was clinical. The first half was nowhere near 2-0.

“We came back and after the red card we pressed them. In the end we came to 3-2 but there wasn’t enough. The game was very hectic with fouls and time-wasting. We showed good pride to come back.

“When you play against the top teams, you give a little and from that little they create a chance and score.

“It was very even at 0-0. It is very hard to come back after 2-0.”
