Igor Tudor reacts to Arsenal's performance vs Spurs

Tottenham manager Igor Tudor has said that Arsenal were much better during the north London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

Spurs went into the game with fresh optimism, having appointed Tudor as their new head coach. There was anticipation that they could derail the Gunners' title bid by beating them in front of their fans.

However, that was not meant to be. The Gunners were the better side over the course of 90 minutes. They won by a comfortable 4-1 scoreline, but the margin of victory could have been much wider as well.

Speaking after the heavy loss to Arsenal, Tudor acknowledged that his side were not good enough and the Gunners were much better.

The Croatian added that there is too much of a gap between the sides and Spurs must work on plenty of things to get back to winning ways.

He said: "I'm sad because it was not good enough. Arsenal was much better. At this moment there is too much gap between the two teams. It's about work, to start to work hard because we struggle in a lot of things for sure."

With the defeat, Tottenham are getting dragged ever closer to the relegation zone. They are currently four points ahead of 18th-placed West Ham.
