Tottenham star Eriksen on Ajax: We made them look a lot better than they are

The Spurs midfielder was disappointed with his side's performance in Tuesday's match, especially their first-half display

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen was frustrated with his side's display in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Ajax , saying his team made their opponents look better than they are.

A shorthanded Spurs side failed to muster much of a threat in the Champions League semi-final first leg, as Donny van de Beek's first-half strike put Ajax on the verge of their first final since 1996.

Despite injuries and suspension robbing Tottenham of several key players including Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, Eriksen was still fuming with the way his side performed – especially in the first half.
