Heung-min Son and Hugo Lloris were left shocked after Juventus dumped Tottenham out of the Champions League

Heung-min Son and Hugo Lloris were devastated following Tottenham's Champions League defeat to Juventus.

Son scored early on to give Spurs a 1-0 lead at Wembley but two goals in quick succession from Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala sent the Italians through to the final eight.

The 25-year-old South Korean told Sky Sports News: "Scoring goals is not important, we are out of the Champions League. I am still not happy about the result.

"I am not a guy who scores goals and is happy but we lose. I am not this guy. I want to win every game, I want to score goals in every game.

"Scoring goals is not important for me now, the result is more important."

Spurs piled on the pressure in the final 20 minutes and their closest chance to forcing extra-time was when Harry Kane's header hit the post.

"We showed in the past and even in the first leg we have the character and the momentum to fight against the best team in Europe," said the 31-year-old.

"But it is not possible in four minutes to concede two goals at this level and a top team like Juve."

Spurs are back in Premier League action on Sunday when they travel to Bournemouth, live on Sky Sports.
