According to Harry Kane his side didn’t take the chances they had and allowed the opponent to get away on them.
‘It is tough, we are gutted, we worked so hard and the fans were amazing. It was a tough game, a 50-50 game, I’m sure we will look back and there is stuff we could’ve done better. ‘It hurts, it hurts a lot, but we can hold our heads up high – we have gone further than a lot of people thought we would do.
‘We created some good chances being 1-0 up, there are lots of ifs and buts and it is hard in these games, it is small margins and it went their way today. ‘Until they scored we were always under the cosh. There is a lot we could have done better but they played better," Kane added.
