Sokratis may have been frustrated not to have won the north London derby at Wembley, but he remains happy with the point we claimed.
The Greek defender spoke to the media afterwards about Harry Kane’s controversial penalty, Bernd Leno’s double save and more.
This is what he said:
on being man-of-the-match…
It was the second time that I have played in a north London derby. I think we played good, we had a good plan, and in the end we lost [two] points but football is like this and we have to go in front like we played today better.
on whether it feels like a defeat…
We had a lot of chances, we had the penalty at the end but what we always say, we win together and we lose together so I am very happy with this point and we look for the next three points.
on whether Kane was offside for the penalty…
Yes, he was offside but I think this penalty is a little bit much, but what can we say? It is one point, we are happy with that.
on the Leno double save…
Leno is a very good goalkeeper and we are very happy to have him here.
