Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke has offered an insight into the dressing room inquest after their 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Oliver Glasner's side compounded the misery in north London after they came from behind to beat Igor Tudor's ten men. Solanke's effort broke the deadlock midway through the first-half as his poacher's effort came just moments after Spurs were handed a reprieve by semi-automated technology when Ismaila Sarr was deemed to be narrowly offside.

However, four minutes after the England international's opener, Mickey van de Ven pulled Sarr down in the penalty area and was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity.

The Senegalese stepped up to equalise, sparking a three-goal salvo that turned the game in the visitors' favour. Jorgen Strand-Larsen fired Palace ahead in stoppage time before Sarr doubled his tally in the closing stages of the first half.

Some Spurs supporters voiced their anger by walking out of the ground before the break and after the restart, there were swathes of empty seats across the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

There were boos at half-time and full-time with Solanke lifting the curtain inside the dressing room with the north London club in the midst of a relegation scrap.

He said: "We've just had a big conversation. We know the position we are in is definitely not where we want to be so we need to figure out how we are going to get out of it as soon as possible.

"We know there's been difficulties but we're not in a position to make any excuses anymore. We need to do the job on the pitch.

"It is easy to say we want to be better but we want to be better on the pitch.

"We need to fight and realise the position we are in. We know the club is not used to being in this position so we need to understand it and understand it's not going to be easy and we need to fight every single game, every single minute, to make sure we improve."

The disappointment meant it was back-to-back defeats for Tudor after their defeat to Fulham on Sunday.

Results going against them on Wednesday saw West Ham United and Nottingham Forest pick up valuable points below them.

It now means Spurs sit one point clear of the bottom three ahead of their trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool, next Sunday.

However, the Croatian interim manager dismissed pressure within Spurs as he believes there is fight left in the dressing room.

Tudor said: "After this game I believe in (them) more than before, maybe it sounds strange but this is it. I saw something in the team, I saw that there is something, even now in the dressing room after the game.

"When we will be complete and I choose the right guys, it will be good I believe. I saw something, some good energy, some wish to do, some passion.

"The fight, I saw it was there. Unfortunately the red card changed the game but there are still nine games to play.

"We need to stop the speak abut the pressure, this is not a topic to speak about. I will not speak anymore about pressure."
