Andre Villas-Boas embarrassed after Tottenham lose 6-0 to Manchester City

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas said his side should feel ashamed after they were thrashed 6-0 at Manchester City on Sunday.

Spurs went into Sunday’s gamewith the best defensive  record in the Premier League, but Jesus Navas and Sergio Aguero both scored twice for City.

Navas’ first goal came after just 15 seconds and Spurs boss Villas-Boas was left to reflect on where things went wrong for his team.

“To lose 6-0 is extremely embarrassing,” said Villas-Boas.

“We have high expectations for the season and losing to a rival by that scoreline is always difficult. 

“A defeat like this tends to stick more to your career than the good things you achieve.

“Our game plan, our confidence and motivation was affected after we suffered a goal in 13 seconds. It is a bad moment. We have to be ashamed of the result.”

“It was a difficult start. Obviously conceding a goal in 15 seconds puts your plan in doubt and everything that you’ve been preparing. It’s difficult to take,” he added.

“We had a very, very good reaction to the goal we conceded, and that’s probably the only positive of the game that we have.

“Everything went bad for us. From being one of the best defences in the country to conceding six goals, there’s not a lot we can say.

“We can say City were excellent, but we were extremely poor today and we paid a heavy price.”

Spurs have now failed to score in their last three Premier League games, and only bottom two Crystal Palace and Sunderland have scored fewer times this season.
