Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi, speaking to Sky Sports: "We created a first chance to score with [Mathys] Tel. It was a big save for Robert Sanchez.

"Then we concede one great goal because [Enzo] Fernandez, a big player, we could do something better. Then we stay in the game until the second goal, we lost a stupid ball. We conceded a second goal. But before the second goal, we created a big big chance with Richarlison.

"I think we played a very good game. We lost.

"But now is not the time to think too much of this game. We have to prepare the next game. We play in our stadium with our fans. With our qualities, with character, with pride and courage we have to play.

"But I am positive because today, we played a good game."

Spurs midfielder Joao Palhinha, speaking to Sky Sports: "We have to [use the defeat as fuel for final game]. That's the reality. We cannot think too much about the result.

"We more than played well. We needed the result to finish this thing that we have been living for a long time. This team needed a different result today. I think we deserved it.

"It's been a tough season for us with a lot of things happening inside the club. The reality is we have a final on Sunday. We want to keep Tottenham in the Premier League and we will go with everything.

"I don't think I need to speak too much about this game because we wanted to win. I think we deserved more. It's a big frustration.

"We will have Tottenham in the Premier League next season, I don't have any doubt about that because it's where the club belong. Let's go with everything."
