De Zerbi apologises as Spurs suffer League Cup exit

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has apologized for his team's League Cup exit after a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool on Tuesday. The loss leaves Spurs fourth from bottom in the Premier League, with four matches played, two defeats and two draws. De Zerbi acknowledged the team is in a tough moment following a poor start to the season, having lost twice and drawn twice in their first four league matches.

The Liverpool side, led by goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai, overwhelmed Tottenham at the rain-soaked Anfield. Conor Gallagher managed to score for Spurs, their first goal against top-flight opposition this term. De Zerbi claimed that the team is unlucky and must shoot better, but admitted they must accept the result and become stronger.

Despite spending over £300 million on new signings, Tottenham's only win this season came in the League Cup against second-tier Charlton. De Zerbi, who saved the club from relegation last season, believes they are still on the right path and remains confident in his players. He vowed to bounce back at home to Aston Villa on Saturday and find the necessary click to win a game.
