Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino insists his side did not have one eye on their Champions League semi-final with Ajax as they were beaten at their new stadium for the first time.
Spurs put in a leggy and lethargic performance as West Ham became the first opposition team to score and win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Michail Antonio’s second-half goal giving them a 1-0 success.
A gruelling fixture schedule and lengthy injury list took their toll on Pochettino’s side and it is hardly the preparation they will have wanted ahead of the biggest game in their recent history on Tuesday.
