Tottenham defender Van de Ven: We must kill games off

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven was devastated with their 2-2 draw against Everton.

Despite having the lead late in the game, Spurs were unable to hold on for all three points.

While the Dutch defender knows they can iron out such flaws, he believes they should have gotten all three points against the Toffees.

"We're really disappointed. We should have killed the game in the end but we didn't do that," he told football.london post-game.

"We knew Everton were really good at set pieces and they scored two goals from set pieces so it's not good for us. We have to watch it back to see what we could do better and next time we will fix it so they don't score.

"It was a physical game. We know how they play, long balls, fight, headers, second balls. It was a tough game. The second half we played quite well, the first half we were struggling a bit. We have to kill it in the end."
