Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho refused to blame Serge Aurier for conceding a penalty in Sunday's loss to Leicester City.
The Ivorian right-back clumsily crashed into Leicester defender Wesley Fofana inside the box right on the stroke of half-time.
Jamie Vardy converted the spot-kick and Leicester went on to claim a 2-0 win.
"Is it a problem? Let's focus on today," said Mourinho afterwards.
"Today he made a mistake but before his mistake in minute 45 or 46 we had other players making mistakes in other areas of the pitch. I can't blame a player for a mistake.
"The penalty is not a penalty 'created', it's not something that comes in the sequence of something great.
"For me, it comes completely unrelated to the context at the time, because at the time it was our best period of the first half."
