Villas-Boas 'ashamed' after City rout

Andre Villas-Boas has said he and his Tottenham Hotspur players should be "ashamed of ourselves" after the club lost 6-0 at Manchester City, their heaviest defeat in the Premier League since 1996.

Jesus Navas started the rout after 14 seconds and, after the final whistle, Tottenham sent out a tweet on their manager's behalf, saying "Andre to the fans: 'The only thing I can say is sorry. It's a very poor result, not to our level. "

After the match, in which Navas got a second, Sergio Aguero scored two goals, Alvaro Negredo one and Sandro put the ball through his own net, Villas-Boas made no attempt to hide his feelings. "Every attack was a goal-scoring opportunity for them, we weren't at our best and we have to be ashamed of ourselves after this," he said. "My emotions are not very important. I don't need to point out individuals but to lose 6-0 is extremely embarrassing for anyone involved in that."
