Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has hailed Brazilian midfielder Sandro and has credited the player’s performance for the team’s 0-3 victory over Fulham last week.
Spurs cruised to a comfortable victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage on the weekend, scoring three goals in the process.
The first half had ended in a stalemate, but a speculative long range effort by Sandro saw Spurs take a well-deserved lead.
The visitors had been in control of the game and were the better side throughout the 90 minutes. Jermain Defoe then added two goals after Sandro’s strike, taking his tally to 9 Premier League goals.
Tottenham had put in a very convincing performance, and have now managed a hat-trick of victories after suffering three successive defeats in the league. The win now puts them at 4th spot, level on points with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and West Brom.
Villas-Boas was delighted by his team’s performance, and made a special mention about Sandro. The Brazilian has been in fine form recently, putting in solid performances for the team in midfield. The goal against Fulham marked his first goal for the club
in over 18 months, and the player has now targeted featuring on the score sheet more often.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Villas-Boas expressed his delight with Sandro and paid tribute to his efforts and ability. He said:
“He’s such a good player and it’s difficult to single out individuals, but Sandro has been amazing for us.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359 was also very impressed by his teammate’s performance and work rate. The striker has himself been in splendid form, and is currently the club’s top scorer. Defoe said:
“He does so much for the team, he works so hard. He’s a real fighter.”
Former Fulham player Clint Dempsey also had a few words to say about Sandro. The American said:
“Sandro had the confidence to take the shot, credit to him. That jump-started things, it opened the game up. Fulham had to push more men forward and we were able to find the gaps behind their midfield to release Jermain. It worked well for us.”
Tottenham travel to Goodison Park on Sunday to face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043, and the game is set to be a crucial fixture for both teams.
