Harry Winks reveals Tottenham did not practise penalties ahead of their defeat to Chelsea
Mauricio Pochettino's men bowed out of the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Thursday evening
When asked whether they practised penalties, Winks replied: 'No. We don't really work on penalties. It's like the manager said, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.
'We beat Watford on penalties and never worked on them. Unfortunately on this occasion, it's football. It wasn't our night on penalties but that's the nature of the game.
'We are disappointed not to go to the final but the main outcome is that we are all very proud of ourselves.
'The way we fought, the way we came back from a 2-0 deficit to take it to penalties.
