Tottenham's Pedro Porro has defended his teammate Antonín Kinsky following his 5-2 defeat at Atlético Madrid. Kinsky was replaced 17 minutes into the match, which Tottenham were 3-0 down after only 15 minutes. This was Kinsky's first start since October and was reminiscent of a slip during a game against Scotland. After the game, Tottenham interim coach Igor Tudor defended his decision to replace Kinsky with first-choice Guglielmo Vicario. The loss was Tottenham's sixth consecutive loss.
