Kulusevski, who had a comeback game that day, pointed out what was lacking in an interview with England’s ‘Evening Standard’ after the match. He said, “We started off well, but Arsenal luckily scored a goal and took the lead. After that, Tottenham couldn’t catch the ball from Arsenal players. Arsenal are a really good team. They are not at the top of the EPL for nothing. They take the ball and press it. It was difficult,” he recalled.

“In the second half, we got much better, but we failed to score. It’s unfortunate considering we created so many chances. A bad first half led to the result. Actually, I don’t know why you keep conceding first. You have a much better chance of winning in a game where you take the lead. “If we start conceding every time, we won’t win. We have to stop doing that.”

Tottenham face Manchester City in their next fixture. Kulusevski said, “We have to move on from the loss against Arsenal. I have a lot of good memories of the match against Man City. It will be a difficult game, but we need to prepare well and get good results. We have a lot of faith that we can finish in fourth place.” did.
