Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas was disappointed after Spurs crashed out of the Capital One Cup last night by losing to Norwich City.
Tottenham were favourites going into the match, especially considering the toothless form of Norwich City this season.

Tottenham had bounced back from the 2-4 defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, and looked well on course for progressing in the tournament.
The game took place at Carrow Road, and was a rather dull affair in the beginning as the first half ended without any goals.
It was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 who broke the deadlock, scoring a 20-yard screamer in the second half. The Welshman has been in fine form, and arguably the best Tottenham player this season.
The visitors were however unable to add to their lead, and Norwich scored two late goals which gave them the unlikely victory.

Despite dominating the game, Tottenham had been unable to manage a victory and crashed out of the competition.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas was disappointed by the loss, especially after seeing his side control the game for the majority of the 90 minutes. Speaking to the club’s official website, he said:
“It was disappointing. I think we played a good game, controlled the possession and played good football in the first and second half.”
“We had a good share of opportunities, so it’s a pity to see us lose the game in this way, in the last few minutes.”
“We set out to try and win this game and to let it slip in the end is difficult for everyone. We feel the frustration and the disappointment from not making it into the quarter-finals, but we move on and focus on Wigan now.”
