Tottenham midfielder Winks: We were sloppy and not good enough

Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks admits they "weren't good enough" for their FA Cup win against Morecambe.

Spurs had to send on the big guns and goals from Winks, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane rescued the Premier League side in a 3-1 victory.

"In these types of games you have to be professional, you have to play properly in the first 10 minutes, you have to kill the game as soon as possible, but we made it as difficult as we possibly could for ourselves," Winks told Spurs TV.

"At half-time there were some honest words. It wasn't good enough and we know that, we hold ourselves accountable.

"We did better in the second half than the first, but it's not good enough. We can't give them the opportunity, we're at home, we're the Premier League team, we should be stamping our authority on the team as soon as possible.

"But we were sloppy and for me it wasn't a good enough performance. Everybody can look at ourselves and say that wasn't good enough."
