MONACO -- Tottenham Hotspur defender Kevin Wimmer admits that conceding 39 seconds after equalising in Tuesday's Champions League defeat to Monaco was unacceptable.
Wimmer was a surprise pick at centre-back as goals from Djibril Sidibie and Thomas Lemar secured Monaco's progression to the round of 16 with a 2-1 win, while Spurs, who equalised through Harry Kane's penalty, are battling with next month's opponents CSKA Moscow for a spot in the Europa League.
It took Monaco four passes and six touches to regain the lead through Lemar after Kane's goal and Wimmer, making his fourth start of the season, said: "It cannot happen that we score the equaliser and concede the second goal straight away -- it's very disappointing.
