One Spurs player who has really impressed during the game was Kieran Trippier.
The England international said after the match that they can take some positives from the second half.
He took to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction after the game. He tweeted:
Not the result we wanted but we can take some positives from the second half. Thanks for your support pic.twitter.com/6prtpUOZHK

Trips please cross the ball more. The most annoying thing is watching u shape to cross then cut back and pass it to sissiko!!! Ur main skill is crossing the ball do it more. Kane and llorente were in the box tonight begging for that ball.
