Fulham manager Scott Parker would not be drawn into a war of words with Jose Mourinho at Tottenham.
The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in a hastily arranged match, which took the place of the Tottenham v Aston Villa clash that was meant to take place this midweek.
Fulham only had 48 hours notice of the game happening, which Parker had criticized prior to kickoff.
Mourinho claimed if Parker fielded a strong team, it meant he had enough time to prepare for the match, and should then apologize for his initial complaints.
"I owe no one an apology, this football club owes no one an apology," Parker told reporters.
"You can talk from the outside and people can see what they want to see and work out exactly what the script is but it was far from that. There were two players on that pitch that had only trained for one day, they'd come back from Covid-19 and played in that game. I had players on the pitch that had just three or four days of training. The issue for me regarding this fixture wasn't having just two days to prepare for it. I understand that.
"The issue was 16 days ago this game was scheduled in but since then we've had 10 positive cases, including a couple of staff and then on Monday morning we got told we had to play this game. That was my issue. People understood the predicament we were in - we wasn't making it up. We've been very open, in terms of the safety of others too.
"This team came with a purpose and two days of hard work. In the end, we go away with a pleasing result."
