Live updates from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs take on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
“It means the spirit of the team, the character and the personality. It was not easy.
“We started the game in a good way, after 15-20 minutes we started to lose some long balls – the first ball, the second ball. They cross a lot and they play aggressive on the duels.
“The first half was difficult but at half time I asked the team to play the way they started the game as that was our game.
“They showed their personality, character and quality and we deserved to win.
“They have the spirit to face this kind of game. It is not just about this game, it is about the next seven games and we need to have this personality. In the end I am very happy with the team and the supporters because they deserve it. They provided the energy we needed to get the three points.
“Sometimes we create a lot of chances but don’t score. We have quality to score goals. We cannot create a monster in our minds because sometimes we create one chance and score a goal.
“It is good for the moment and good for the belief because we need to believe in ourselves. It is not about Tottenham, it is not about West Ham, it is not about Leeds it is about us. It is about what we want for next season.
“We are alive, we are committed and we are ready to fight.”
“Away from home, it’s always tough playing in front of their fans. It was all about the fight and determination today. And to a man, everyone was amazing.
“Everyone worked hard and we scored three good goals. It’s just a huge boost of confidence for us. Going into the international break and with a little bit of rest to freshen things up and be ready for the next stretch.”
“I can’t say it was written in the stars. I am just doing my best to help this team. I have shown that since the first day of coming here. It’s not been clean sailing. But we all stick together – the manager, the owner, the fans and the players.
“I am delighted to be on the scoresheet but more importantly, it’s the three points won. Taking three points here and having a bit of time off now to get relaxed and get ready for the fixtures that is to come. I can’t wait for a few days off now.”
“It’s absolutely a huge result. There was a lot of worry going into this game and about the outcome. But the boys were incredible.
“We defended with our lives today. We knew we needed to bring that fire, energy and commitment and the boys showed that in abundance today.
“I was delighted we got the three points because it creates some gap now. But we can’t just focus on that. We need to keep looking forward and keep focussing on the next game.”
