'I’m not sad' - Mourinho plays down Tottenham's friendly defeat against Watford

Jose Mourinho admits he wasn't sad about Tottenham losing 2-1 against Watford in a friendly clash on Saturday.

Spurs found themselves 2-0 down at half-time after the Hornets, who will play in the Championship this season, struck through Domingos Quina and Andre Gray.

Son Heung-Min, wearing Tottenham's captain's armband for the first time, slotted home a 79th-minute penalty and kept his side in the contest late on as he made a goal-line clearance after goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga had come up for a corner.
