Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli says they must be smarter with their game management.
Alli admits Tottenham need to be "cleverer" in the way they defend after squandering a two-goal lead to draw at Arsenal on Sunday.
After one win in four Premier League games this season for Spurs, Alli, who came on as a second-half substitute, believes the result constituted two points dropped for Mauricio Pochettino's side against their local rivals.
"Being 2-0 up we have to be more relentless defensively and a little more mature in the way we played in the second half," Alli told Sky Sports.
"We knew with Arsenal getting the goal before half time they were going to come out and push for the second goal, which does create space for us to counter-attack.
"But at the same time we have to be cleverer with our defending and we're obviously disappointed.
"I think the boys played very well in the first half. Obviously this isn't an easy place to come, you just have to be a bit cleverer with the way you play.
"But we showed great character to not lose in the end because of the amount of possession they had. They are a talented team.
"Obviously we are disappointed but there are a few positives to take."
