Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa insists there are positives to find in their defeat at Tottenham.

Harry Kane from the spot, Heung-min Son and Toby Alderweireld struck for the 3-0 win.

Bielsa said, "We had moments and in general the first half was good. It was better in the initial 30 minutes and more even in the final 15 minutes of the first half.

"The beginning of the second half was our worst moment in the game. And in the end, it was again positive.

"There are two aspects that unbalanced the game. The opponents' forwards were very damaging and difficult to contain. We made some unforced errors which facilitated their attack but we had good offensive production. What we needed to do was not lose the ball in our own half.

"There was a lot of danger on the second balls and on the set-pieces. We could have aspired to a closer game.

"We have already gone through similar moments like this and there are improvements that are needed of course. The ones against Chelsea and Man Utd - this game was clearly better. But there are steps we need to make that we haven't yet made."
