Gray finds positives for Spurs despite PSG loss

Archie Gray believes Tottenham can take a number of positives from Wednesday night's 5-3 Champions League defeat at Paris Saint-Germain despite describing the result as "not good enough".

The pre-match talk at the club had been about effecting a reset after Sunday's 4-1 derby humbling at Arsenal to boost confidence for tomorrow's home game against Fulham. Spurs are desperate for a victory at their stadium having won only once there in the league this season under Thomas Frank. More broadly, their home league record shows three victories in 20 matches.

It was a strange game for Spurs to analyse against PSG. The view was coloured by Frank's team having set the bar so low with their performance at Arsenal and also because it was PSG, the star-studded, defending European champions. What was pleasing from a Spurs point of view was that they showed some attacking thrust. Richarlison scored his sixth goal of the season and Randal Kolo Muani, who is on loan from PSG, got two - his first in Spurs colours. Frank went man-for-man in midfield and there was fight and aggression.
