West Ham 0-3 Tottenham: What Potter said

West Ham boss Graham Potter spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's defeat to Tottenham: "The first half was a positive performance for us. We connected well as a team and attacked well.

"We were incredibly committed and together as a team so it was disappointing the second half panned out the way it did. We had the red card after conceding and were quickly 2-0 down and it got away from us.

"We made a mistake for the first goal and they executed it well - we should do better. We had a good reaction, Jarrod [Bowen] had a shot but it became uncomfortable after the red card."

On the sending off: "I don't think there was intent from Tomas [Soucek] and there wasn't a lot of speed in it but when you go with your studs raised you've got a problem."

Speaking to Sky Sports about the reaction from fans, Potter added: "I understand [their disappointment] because the scoreline is the scoreline and I understand why people are upset. We are a new team and we have to stick together and focus on the things we've done well and see where we can improve."
