“It is harsh on us but we have got to learn the lessons.

“We have got to be clinical with our chances and cannot afford to give opponents of their quality so many openings as they will carve you open.

“We knew the quality of their strikers and that we would need to defend well. I think we shot ourselves in the foot a little bit.”

Harry Redknapp, Tottenham Manager said:

“Preston is never an easy place to come and I felt it would be a tough game.
