'There were times it didn't feel like a derby' - Lennon

Former Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast about Wednesday's 2-1 loss at Arsenal:

"They're massive words coming from the manager and the club captain [Son Heung-min]. They were flat and listening to Ange speak, you could feel that even he was really flat and disappointed there.

"There were times in the game when you were thinking this didn't feel like a derby, especially in that first half. It was all too nice, Arsenal were very comfortable and they were letting them have possession.

"Even in the second half, you were going 'come on, let's go for it, we've got six forward players on this pitch'. We didn't really see the tempo lift and that's disappointing in this game.

"The fans will not accept that because this game means so much to the fans and the football club, and it didn't feel like a derby watching it."

On the club's injury list: "It's been a massive factor. You're not talking about one or two fringe players, you're talking about key players; your number one goalkeeper, your two centre-halves, Destiny Udogie is out - three of your back four are out, plus your goalkeeper, and that would affect any team.

"The boys who have come in - Archie Gray has been brilliant and Djed Spence has looked really good.

"The interesting thing to see now is will Spurs look to bolster their squad in this January window? They'll be looking to cover at centre-half and possibly another striker.

"They've shown today and over this season that the squad needs strengthening."
