The Spurs captain stressed upon the importance of the victory, and believes that it is only a taste of things to come from the North London club.
Tottenham managed an impressive and historic 2-3 win at Old Trafford this past Saturday. The last time they did this was back in 1989 when striker Gary Lineker had won them all three points.
Before the match, manager Andre Villas-Boas had confidently stated that his team had the quality to beat the former English champions. Having served as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager last season, Villas-Boas had come close to beating the English giants. However, he was
shortly relieved of his duties at Stamford Bridge.
Now, the manager has proved his mettle and led his team to an important victory. Spurs, failing to win any of their first three games in the league, have now managed three consecutive victories which takes them up to the fifth spot on the league table.
Goals from summer signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 had earned Tottenham the lead, before Clint Dempsey scored the winner, ensuring all three points for the North London club.
Spurs had spent most of the second half defending, but had played an impressive and attacking first half which had ensured their victory. Captain and defender William Gallas was impressed by the team’s display in the opening 45 minutes and was happy to have
proved what they are capable of.
Speaking to the club’s official website, he said:
"The first half was unbelievable. We were so compact, disciplined and we played so well. It's fantastic to play in a game like this, especially in Manchester because it’s not easy to win.”
“The first half was important, that showed everyone what Tottenham can do. We worked so hard because we wanted to win the game.”
"Before the game, the manager said to us that we had the opportunity to do something here, to go on the pitch, to play our football and be compact and we did what he asked us to do."
