Tottenham Hotspur thrashed Charlton Athletic 5-1, with De Zerbizan showing the team's determination to bounce back.

Tottenham Hotspur thrashed Championship side Charlton Athletic 5-1 at home in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, successfully shaking off the shadow of their weekend league defeat.

In a post-match interview, Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed satisfaction with the team's desire to win and their attitude in the game.

Goals from Mitch Moore, Dominic Solanke, Kevin Danso, Savio, and Ben Davies helped Tottenham secure a 5-1 victory.

In a post-match interview, De Zer said, "This was a very good response. In football, you may lose a game, but you have to keep fighting the next day and show your character and mentality. I made that demand of the players, and they played very well."

Speaking about the details of the match and the execution of tactics, De Zerbi added: "We scored five goals, but I regret the last one we conceded. To completely change the team's mentality, conceding a goal like that at the end of the game must make us unhappy."

"In my system, the most important things are order on the field, lots of passing, and not taking risks. In the attacking third, we also need to continue to find the best ways to combine and attack space."

In addition, Pedro Polo and Miki van der Fern returned from injury in this match, and new signing Savio also made his debut, providing Tottenham with more squad options for their upcoming two-front campaign.
