Tottenham attacker Dejan Kulusevski can't explain why they keep conceding first after defeat at home to Arsenal.
For the 11th time in 13 matches, Spurs fell behind in Sunday's 2-0 derby defeat to Arsenal after another meek opening 45 minutes, before producing their now-customary rally in the second half.
"We started good and then they scored a lucky goal and after that we didn't play good enough - we couldn't touch them," Kulusevski told the London Evening Standard. “They're a really good team. They're not first in the league because of luck. So it was hard for us to keep the ball, to press them.
“But then second half was much better. We couldn't score, that's the bad thing, but we created a lot of chances. Bad result. Bad first half. But we have to move on. We cannot go home and be sad. We have another game soon and we just have to recover good.
“I have no idea [why we keep conceding first], honestly. What I see is that when we score first we win the games and when we don't, it's much less [likely]. It's very hard for everybody but if we don't start the games better we're not going to win. So we have to stop doing that.
“We're trying. Nobody wants to concede first but everyone is trying. To find a solution is a little bit harder. Asking questions is very easy. Of course, the coach is on us."
