Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi has branded his team as 'too fragile' after they suffered a 3-2 defeat at home to Aston Villa - with the Italian criticised for what he did after full-time.
Here's what he had to say...
It felt like another one of those games where you're dominant in the first half but don't score your goals, that puts pressure on the team and they don't react well...
A toxic atmosphere engulfed the stadium as Tottenham Hotspur supporters loudly booed their team off the pitch following a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa.
Spurs remain without a league win this season and only netted their first goals of the campaign after the visitors had surged into a 3-0 lead on Saturday.
