Cardiff City's Malky Mackay upbeat after defeat

Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay reacts to his side's stoppage-time defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has declared that he is proud of his players despite their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Bluebirds went down to a 93rd-minute goal from Paulinho, but their boss was more than happy with their performance.

"The boys put in a magnificent effort against a very good team. The amount of chances we had, the disallowed goal," BBC Sport quotes him as saying. "Hugo Lloris is a very lucky man tonight. It's about being more clinical but we matched a very good team toe to toe again.

"We put them under pressure and I'm very proud of my players. They're a great group to work with and I'm glad I'm in the trenches with them this season.

"They're relishing the size of the task this season and are giving as good as they get. They're loving the fact that we're in the Premier League and we're actually competing."

The result sees Cardiff slip down to 14th place in the Premier League table.
