PSV coach Van Bommel slams Wembley pitch: It was s***

PSV Eindhoven coach Mark van Bommel slammed the Wembley pitch after defeat at Champions League opponents Tottenham.

Harry Kane scored twice as Spurs fought back from behind to win 2-1 with minutes to spare.

Van Bommel hailed his team in defeat and criticised the Wembley pitch but refused to use it as an excuse.

"The pitch is s***," said Van Bommel. "It's not good but we're not complaining. The players were complaining in training but I told them to shut up.

"Everybody wants a good pitch. It was not so good, so we have to deal with it.

"We got a goal and we tried to defend it until the end. We did everything we could. We fought like lions."
