Leeds lost the fifth round replay 3-1 at Elland Road, thanks to a hat-trick from Spurs striker Jermain Defoe.
He said: “We were very good again. We passed the ball around well and competed ever so well against a top team in the Premier League.
“That’s all we said to the players – give a good account of yourself and do yourselves justice.
“Nobody expected us to win apart from maybe 33,000 inside the ground and the players, but we like to think we’ve come out of it with a lot of credit.”
