The midfielder scored Coventry’s equaliser early in the second half, but Tottenham regained the lead through Omar Marmoush before Ben Davies struck in stoppage time to seal the hosts’ first Premier League win of the season.
Rudoni felt Coventry City had followed their plan effectively and came close to earning a point against a side he believes are better than their league position suggests.
“Yeah it's frustrating, we felt we did well as a team. We took the game plan to them well. At the end it really could've been 2-2,” he told Sky Sports.
“We've got to take the positives. We have a big game on Saturday so we'll just look at the positives and get ready for that.”
Coventry had just one shot on target across the match, but Rudoni argued that the statistic did not fully reflect their efforts. He felt the team had applied pressure in the right areas, while accepting that they needed to be more clinical when opportunities arrived.
“Yeah maybe the clinical edge and sometimes stuff just doesn't fall for you and that's football. All we can do is keep applying the pressure and working hard in the right areas and stuff. We're away from home. They're a good team. They're league position probably doesn't reflect where they are.”
Rudoni admitted Coventry might have retreated too far after drawing level, allowing Tottenham the opportunity to regain control. Marmoush’s goal came nine minutes after the equaliser, and Davies’ late strike made the scoreline more emphatic than the visitors would have wanted.
“Maybe we dropped a little bit deep, I don't know. It's frustrating to concede after we got the equaliser. It was tough. You just have to work hard to keep solid and get a second.
“But like I said they have quality, we have to nullify that as much as we can. I thought we applied pressure well and on another night it's 2-2 and we come away with a point.”
The defeat left Coventry level on six points with Tottenham, who moved above them on goal difference after the result. For Rudoni, the challenge now is to turn encouraging performances into points rather than allow narrow margins to become a recurring frustration.
“I think we've shown we can compete and like you say it's the little differences like shots on target. We've shown we can compete we just needs to get points on the board. We need to really get points on the board.”
His equaliser offered a reminder of Coventry’s ability to trouble Premier League opposition, but Rudoni knows that performance alone will not be enough. With another demanding fixture approaching, he wants the team to build on their display and find the clinical edge required to turn competitive outings into results.
