Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou speaking to Sky Sports: “It is a cup tie that is played against a formidable opponent, I think we did well in general.

“We didn’t allow many clear chances. We could have put the game away, but City will always put pressure on you.

“It’s a constantly evolving process, this team is growing all the time, but when you grow you’re going to stumble.

“As disappointed as we were on Sunday, I had great faith that we could come out today and put on a great show.

“Our two goals were quality goals, they have to be because City don’t give easy opportunities.”

About Timo Werner: “Great for Timo. He’s going through a difficult time, but the previous play was excellent.

“I should encourage him, we support him, but it depends on him and the way he approaches things. He was unlucky not to get one or two more, if the attacking players don’t score they feel a bit anxious.”

On team morale: “I don’t believe in great moments or catastrophic moments: we are the same team we were three days ago. Hopefully, we will have more good days ahead.”
