Former Tottenham defender Michael Dawson says they made too many errors for last night's Carabao Cup defeat at Chelsea.
Spurs lost 2-0 for the first-leg of the semifinal.
Dawson chose to single out Emerson's error for Chelsea's opener among "so many" he believes were made by Spurs in the build-up to Kai Havertz scoring.
"The ways Spurs started summed up the whole first half for them," he told Sky Sports. "[Pierre-Emile] Hojbjerg had the ball, they were in control, no problem.
"But the press from Chelsea, not just in the first couple of minutes, but all half.... they were in control Spurs, but as soon as Tanganga plays it there, Alonso was straight on it, he was waiting for that pass.
"Great ball in behind and for Havertz it is an easy finish. Could Sanchez have done better? I think it is a small area, there are so many mistakes before that that cost Spurs a goal.
"Emerson Royal has to make better angle for him. It was such a disappointing half from Spurs."
