Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld insists that his team will now forget about the disappointment of the Arsenal draw and focus on their Europa League Round of 16 tie against Borussia Dortmund.
The Lilywhites were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against arch-rivals Arsenal at White Hart Lane on Saturday, thanks to a late strike from Alexis Sanchez for the Gunners.
The result was particularly disappointing for Mauricio Pochettino's team as they enjoyed better possession and had their opponents outnumbered after Francis Coquelin was sent off in the 55th minute.
While the defender is disappointed with the result, as all his other team-mates are, they are now looking to turn their attention back to the Europa League, which continues to be an important tournament for the Londoners.
Alderweireld believes that each game from now on will be like a final for them where they will have to give everything they can to get the best possible result.

“We will now focus on Dortmund, a massive game for us”, the defender told his club's official website.
“Every game from now until the end is like a cup final and we have to give everything, like we always do.
“We can all be happy with how we played against Arsenal, the energy levels we put in and now we have to show it again on Thursday.”
