Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk boss Juande Ramos expecting tough second leg

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk boss Juande Ramos has admitted that his side faces a tough second leg in their Europa League last-32 tie against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Ukrainians emerged victorious in the home leg thanks to a late penalty from Yevhen Konoplyanka, but the Spaniard was quick to downplay his team's advantage.

"Our target was to score as much as possible, a draw was not for us," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying.

"Luckily we were just able to score the goal which gives us some advantage but we are pretty aware of the fact that London we will have 90 difficult and serious minutes. We will do our best and try to win in London.

"We were pretty close to scoring the second goal which would be great help for us in London but still I have nothing but thanks to the players for what they did."

The return leg will take place at White Hart Lane on February 27.
