Spurs went into the game on a high after beating Manchester United to win the Europa League on Wednesday night.

But the former Celtic boss is proud of how the season has panned out, insisting supporters would have taken a trophy and Champions League qualification at the start of the campaign.
"Yeah disappointing result, pretty fatigued second half," he said.
"First half was okay. We controlled it pretty well, scored and should have had a second but fatigued second half and the game got away from us.
"How do I assess our season? Outstanding! Won a trophy which we haven't for 17 years and we're in the Champions League.

"Ask anyone supporter at start of the season if they'd take that and there wouldn't be a person in the house that wouldn't."
When grilled specifically on his future, he added: "It doesn't bother me asking me about my future. I can't answer.
"I'm pretty relaxed about it. it's been an unbelievable season. I couldn't be any prouder.
"You're asking the wrong person. everyone in the media is intelligent enough to know I'm not the person to know to ask those questions.
