Villas-Boas was left stunned after Steven Pienaar and Nikica Jelavic scored within two minutes of each other at the death to secure the Toffees a 2-1 victory at Goodison Park.
This is not the first time Spurs have let late goals cost them this season, having recorded ten goals against them in the last 15 minutes of matches.
Villas-Boas told The Evening Standard: "It was a disappointing result bearing in mind we were leading taking the game into the last minute.
"It has been quite an adventure in the Premier League this season; if we count the number of results that have been going for us before the last minutes we would be first.
"There are so many different reasons. It is not really easy to explain because a couple of them come from different situations.
"It is something we are aware of, which is why we speak about it openly, and it is something we have to improve, seeing off games.
"It is not a mental thing, it is the nature of the game because it was our best period for quite some time in the second half."
