Tottenham Hotspur striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359 believes they can achieve something special this season after last night’s 3-1 victory over West Ham in the Premier League.
The Spurs striker netted 2 goals as Tottenham cruised to a 3-1 victory. Defoe scored the first goal at the stroke of half time when he made a superb solo run down the left wing, cut inside dodging three West Ham players and then finished past the goalkeeper.
The striker was lively throughout the whole match, and was involved in most of Spurs’ attacks. Filling in for the suspended http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526, Defoe was perhaps the best player out on the pitch.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 scored Tottenham’s second goal, and then Defoe added the third and his second shortly after some neat work by Clint Dempsey.
Defoe has now scored 7 goals in the Premier League this season, and his brace last night has moved Tottenham up to 7th place.
The player was delighted to help his team get back to winning ways after a miserable 3-game losing streak in the league. Tottenham had also experienced a grim Europa League game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 during midweek, and desperately needed a win to regain
their momentum and push for a top 4 finish.
Defoe believes that if Tottenham can perform like last night on a consistent basis, they can achieve success this season. He hailed manager Andre Villas-Boas’ impact on the team and praised his football philosophy. Speaking to reporters, he said:
“The performance against West Ham was good, not only the goals but the performance as well. The manager wanted a reaction and I thought the whole performance from the first minute was fantastic.”
“We had great energy and tempo. It’s how we should be playing at home and overall we were the better side and deserved the three points.”
“I just want to keep my goal scoring form going. Hopefully achieve something special this season. It’s a long way to go but we’re all working hard."
Tottenham face a busy week ahead as they prepare for two Premier League games this week. They first host http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 at White Hart Lane and then travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham on the weekend.
