The Italian Football Coach Stellini took responsibility for the decision to take off Sanchez after previously bringing him on as a substitute, adding that Spurs must support him during a “tough moment”.
“I understand it’s a tough moment for everyone and we have to analyse this moment,” said the interim manager. “Everyone needs to analyse how important it is to support a player.
“I take the responsibility for the decisions I make. I thought it was too early in the game to use another striker because we were 1-0 up in the first half.
“When we were 2-1 down I thought it was the moment Davinson has to [come off]. It was only a tactical decision.
“We need to support him because it’s a tough moment for him and also for all the team.”
