They won 3-2 in fortuitous circumstances, depriving a superior Tottenham of even a point.
“We should have put the game to bed at 2-0,” said Platt. “That is what the manager said afterwards. His voice was low but what he said was profound. He is not happy at the gift we gave them for the first goal and which let them back in. It was a lapse in concentration, we gifted it to them, and the manager has made that clear to the players in no uncertain terms. It was a pulsating second 45 minutes.”
