Tottenham drew 1-1 with West Ham in the 35th week of the Premier League, allowing Ange Postecoglou’s team to earn one point ahead of the Europa League semi-final return match against Bodo Glimt.

The Australian coach of Spurs said in the post-match press conference:“Yes, I am proud of the players’ efforts. Making so many changes is not easy and affects the fluidity and even the rhythm of the team.

But even the substitutes haven’t played much regularly, and it wasn’t just about the substitutions—I only made one change, so many of them played more minutes than in recent games. I thought the effort they put in today was outstanding.

They were really disciplined and organized. We were disappointed with the goal we conceded, but apart from that, I thought we neutralized their threat as much as we could, and they had decent attacking power, but I still thought we were dangerous on the counter.

So I’m happy the boys are getting rewarded. Clearly, this isn’t a win, but they are being rewarded for their efforts because I think they defended well on a difficult day.

Dominik Solanke’s condition
Solanke is improving. Obviously, we didn’t play him today, but the medical team is completely confident he will be ready for Thursday.

James Maddison’s injury
No, it doesn’t look good, but we’re just waiting for more information. We’ll wait and see. It’s fair to say it doesn’t look promising, but I’ll just wait and see.
