Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Ryan Mason has conceded that he and his teammates were "gutted" to drop two points in their Premier League clash against Stoke City.
Goals from Eric Dier and Nacer Chadli put Spurs 2-0 ahead at the break and they held the advantage until Marko Arnautovic scored from the penalty spot, while Mame Biram Diouf equalised for the Potters in the 83rd minute to earn them a point.
Mason told the club's official website: "We were 2-0 up and in any other league, that's game over. At half time we were saying 'go and get the third' but that third goal and the momentum went to them.
"Goals change games and you could see once they scored their first it looked like they were the only team who were going to score again. We're all gutted. To be 2-0 up at home and blow the lead is really disappointing.
"Butland made a few good saves and it could have been three or four but in the last 20 minutes they got the better of us. As I said, it's disappointing because 2-0 up at home, you'd like to think that's the three points."
Tottenham face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium next week.
