Spurs deserved cup win, says Jol
Tottenham boss Martin Jol said his side deserved to beat Southend United even though television replays suggested Jermain Defoe's winner was offside.
"I've had a look at the replay and it looks marginally offside, so I've got some sympathy for Southend," said Jol after his side's extra-time win.
"But on the other hand I think Spurs deserved to win," added Jol.
"We had more chances than them and their keeper made a lot of saves and we were not fortunate."
Southend boss Steve Tilson was unable to hide his disappointment after his side's narrow quarter-final defeat.
"Considering the desire and commitment we showed it should have gone to penalties," said Tilson.
"It's even harder to swallow given that the goal was offside," added Tilson, referring to Defoe's winner.
"Credit to my players because we were up against a side that has won their last 10 games."
