Nabil Bentaleb: 'We can bounce back against Leicester City'

Nabil Bentaleb has insisted that Tottenham Hotspur will produce a response to Sunday's defeat to Manchester United this weekend.

Spurs welcome relegation-threatened Leicester City to White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon, and Bentaleb is confident of paying the fans back with an improved performance.

"We've played well recently and it's a shame - and we have to tell the truth - we just didn't turn up and the game was over before we started," the Algerian told the club's website.

"I feel really bad about the game, especially for the fans and I can tell them that we will come back stronger and show a different face when we play Leicester at home.

"We have to stay strong now, take it as a lesson and work even harder in training to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Spurs are currently seventh, six points behind fourth-placed United in the battle for a Champions League spot.
