Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas is confident that his side will bounce back after the last minute defeat to Everton on Sunday night in the Premier League.
Spurs had been on a winning run of 3 games in the Premier League going into the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 clash. A victory over the Toffees would have extended that streak to 4 successive league games and ensured their place in the top 4 for at least another week.
Tottenham had scored the first goal and looked set to seal all three points for manager Andre Villas-Boas. Clint Dempsey had given his side the lead in the second half when his effort at goal was deflected over a helpless http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Howard-c35095.
The game had otherwise been a tight affair, with both teams trying their best to get a win. It was Everton who had the last laugh as they grabbed two quick goals in stoppage time.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906 shortly added another after only 88 seconds.
Everton had stolen the win from right under Tottenham’s noses and now take their place among the top 4 at the expense of Spurs. Villas-Boas was disappointed by the defeat, and insisted that Tottenham need to stop conceding goals in the final minutes of games.
The Portuguese is however confident that his side can recover and expressed his relief at the fact that they have a week of rest. Speaking to the club’s official website, he said:
“We now have a week to prepare and that’s important for us because we haven’t stopped for a month or so. Finally we have a breather. The players can recover and I think you will see us at another level in these next two home games. We have to make the most
of it.”
Tottenham will next play two consecutive home games in the Premier League and Villas-Boas is confident that his team will display the character needed to bounce back from the Everton defeat.
“Two home games before Christmas fixtures is good for us and have to continue our performance and bounce back. We’ve showed good signs of ability to bounce back from adversity and I think we’ll do it again.”
