Mourinho admits attitude concerns after Tottenham eliminated by Dinamo Zagreb

Tottenham Hotspur have been eliminated from the Europa League after a stunning 3-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb.

Spurs headed to Croatia with a 2-0 lead but were punished for an insipid performance at the Maksimir.

Orsic deservedly curled the hosts ahead on the night with a wonderful strike from the edge of the box and swept home Iyayi Atiemwen's cross to level the tie.

And it was Orsic who scored the decisive goal, sealing his hat-trick to put Dinamo into the quarters.

Harry Kane had two great chances at the end of normal and extra time but was denied by Dinamo keeper Dominik Livakovic.

Speaking after game, manager Jose Mourinho admitted he was concerned about his side.

"Of course it concerns me," said Mourinho. "We worked very hard, we tried to provide the best conditions for the players to perform.

"My position as a head coach is the position that makes me uncomfortable to come in front of the cameras and go deep in analysis. I hope you can understand that. I believe all of us have to be humble enough to accept any criticism that you can make of our work. It is not for me to go on that."
