Montella: "Shame how it ended, we’ll learn from it"

This is what Vincenzo Montella said to Sky Italia after Fiorentina were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Torino: “We’re gutted, all of us. We kept pushing for the win right up till the end. It’s a shame it ended the way it did. We let ourselves get caught on the break too often and Torino were good at that. “I think missing the penalty weighed on Babacar’s mind throughout the match. Ilicic had an excellent game and he worked really hard. “Our defence held up well over the 90 minutes but we were naive to concede that goal. We weren’t very clear-headed in the final minutes; we’ll learn from that for the future. “It will be an open game against Tottenham on Thursday. We want to give the best of ourselves as we did in the first leg.” ]]>
