Fraizer Campbell is backing Darren Bent to recover from the disappointment of not scoring against his old Tottenham team-mates.
Spurs keeper Heurelho Gomes kept out Bent's second-half penalty, as the hosts claimed a 2-0 White Hart Lane win on Saturday.
"Nine times out of ten, Darren will score that," said Campbell, who made his first league start since September's 3-1 defeat at Burnley.
"He bangs them in left, right and centre in training, but you can't score all the time.
"His penalty-taking record in matches is brilliant, but anyone in the world can miss a penalty every now and then.
"It was just one of those things and one of those days.
"We needed a bit of luck, but didn't get it. Things were stacked against us, and the penalty miss sums that up.
"We threw a lot of things at their keeper, but he just seemed to save everything that came his way.
"He denied us the chance to pull the game back level, and the penalty save stopped the momentum we were building."
