Tottenham Hotspur lost to Arsenal in the North London derby on Sunday.
Spurs suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Arsenal away from home at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side were 2-1 up at one stage, but the Gunners staged a second-half comeback and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.
Wales international left-back Davies – who earns £60,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – has admitted that the Tottenham players failed to grind it out against Arsenal.
Davies told Tottenham’s official website: “They came out of the blocks, but we had a really good go and got back into the game.
“That’s why it’s so disappointing we let it slip. Those are the games where you sometimes have to grind it out and we didn’t do that well enough.”
Concerning for Tottenham Hotspur fans?
That Davies has admitted that Tottenham could not grind it out against Arsenal in the North London derby is probably a concern for Spurs fans.
After all, in recent years, it is the Gunners who have struggled to grind it out in big games.
While Tottenham were very good in the first half, they failed to maintain that level after the break and made some really silly errors.
Then of course there was the sending-off of defender Jan Vertonghen, who had a disappointing game.
