Tottenham Hotspur suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie against AZ Alkmaar, with an own goal by Lucas Bergvall condemning them to defeat. Captain Son Heung-min described the loss as a 'wake-up call' as the team prepares for their crucial second leg next week. Son highlighted the team's lack of creativity and performance, while manager Ange Postecoglou acknowledged the side's struggle in multiple aspects, emphasizing the importance of improving before their next match as their chance for silverware dwindles.
It's nowhere near where we should perform. It was very disappointing that we performed like this, including me. It's a big wake-up call because next week is the biggest game of the season.
It wasn't great from us tonight, pretty much all facets of the game. We didn't really get to grips with any part of the game.
