Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood believes that his side's Europa League tie against Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk is far from over, after Spurs suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg this evening.
The match appeared to be heading for a goalless draw, but Yevhen Konoplyanka slotted in a penalty with 81 minutes played to hand the Ukrainian side a slender advantage.
"I thought we could have played better. They know they can do better. The positive thing is we're still in the tie and we'll bring them back to the Lane next Thursday and hopefully stay in the competition," Sherwood told the club's official website.
"You have to give Dnipro credit, they played well. We knew they were a good side with full internationals. We had to show them respect and we did that.
"I can't fault the endeavour and application from the lads, we just needed a little more quality at certain times."
The second leg at White Hart Lane will be played next Thursday.
