Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario accuses his own team-mates of lacking the desire to fight after they slumped to a surprise 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace

Guglielmo Vicario accused his teammates of lacking the desire to fight after Tottenham became the first team to be defeated by Crystal Palace in the Premier League this season.

'They fight and I think we lacked that today,' said Vicario. 'We are disappointed because we have to fight. We play good football but maybe sometimes we lack the desire to fight. They (Crystal Palace) showed a real desire to fight for something.

The Spurs keeper went over to a half-empty away end at the end of the game to apologise and admitted that Ange Postecoglou's side must do better.
