Martinez let down by Everton in season-ending defeat

Everton manager Roberto Martinez felt let down by his team's performance in the final day defeat against Tottenham on Sunday.

The Toffees lost 1-0 to Spurs at Goodison Park after Harry Kane's 24th-minute strike which was a disappointing way to end the season for the Merseyside outfit who ended in 11th position.

"From a football point of view, the first half we weren't good enough and we lost the game in that first 45 minutes," said Martinez.

"It's really disappointing because I don't think we performed in that loose manner; our quality on the ball was very poor. We were caught in two minds and we allowed them easy possession at times.

"A simple cross and (Kane's) got a free header in the box so every aspect of our performance was quite disappointing."
