Jol: I can't complain

Martin Jol felt Tottenham's performance in the defeat to Arsenal gave him few grounds for complaint about two penalty decisions.

Spurs slipped to a 3-0 loss in the first North London derby at Emirates Stadium as Emmanuel Adebayor's goal and two Gilberto Silva penalties proved the difference.

Jol felt the spot-kick awards were harsh, but was unhappy with how his players failed to compete against their local rivals.

"The two penalty decisions, I think, were wrong," Jol told Sky Sports News.

"The first one wasn't a penalty and the second was maybe handball from Van Persie.

"But I can't complain about that because normally you have some pride if you play well or create four or five chances like we did against the other big teams.

"We didn't do that today, so what can I say? I can't complain about that."

The Spurs boss has also urged his players to show greater determination in future Premiership games.

He added: "We have to grow up and develop a good team. We have to get results with this team, that's what we said to the boys as well.

"If you can't compete and don't have a lot of determination in the English league, you can't play here."

The ref was to blame for Tottenham's defeat.

The 2 penaltys weren't penaltys.
And Adebayor was offside in the 2nd goal.
