‘It is unacceptable’ – Harry Kane slams his ‘immature’ Tottenham side after Europa Conference League humiliation

HARRY KANE has branded Tottenham’s Euro embarrassment “unacceptable” - and accused his team-mates of being “immature”.

The Spurs striker was left reeling after Thursday’s shock 2-1 defeat at Slovenian minnows NS Mura - the lowest ranked team in the Europa Conference League.

The England captain, who also wore the armband for his club on their worst night in Euro competition, said: "It was unacceptable really.

"We didn’t start well, went behind and then went down to 10 men and made it difficult for ourselves.

"In the second half we showed some fight and spirit and got ourselves back into the game and if anyone looked like scoring it was going to be us.

"But an immature mistake at the end to concede a goal when we had all the play.

"It is unacceptable. A tough match for us, we just have to learn from it.”

It was Antonio Conte’s first loss as Tottenham boss.

It means the North Londoners now need to beat Group G winners Rennes to stand a chance of qualifying for the play-offs to reach the last 16 of UEFA’s third competition.

Mura, whose ranking is the equivalent of Accrington Stanley and Gillingham, had not picked up a single point from their previous four Conference League clashes.

Asked what the mood was like in the Spurs camp after their humiliation, Kane said: "Anger, disappointment. As it should be.

“We were favourites to win this game but we knew we had to get it right. We knew they were a good side, we knew we had to be on it in all aspects and mentality was definitely the main one.

"We made some immature mistakes and got punished for them and that's what happens in Europe.

"All we can say is sorry to the travelling fans, sorry to the fans back home but we just have to keep working hard and turn things around."

Tottenham travel to bottom-three Burnley in the Premier League tomorrow with Kane under no illusions as to what needs improving at his club.

He said: "Everything. We are working hard and training hard, the manager has only had a few weeks.

"Every day we are learning new things, it is about getting that spirit and togetherness.

"We are working hard every day, we got a good win at the weekend, it is a shame we couldn't back that up today but we still have another game in the group to go.

"We will give it our all in the last group game."
