Tottenham Hotspur players Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale are loving life with the club at the moment, especially following the historic 2-3 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Tottenham had started their campaign poorly, losing their Premier League opener and then going on to draw two consecutive home games. Manager Andre Villas-Boas had come under immediate pressure after he failed to earn maximum points from his first three
games in charge.
Despite adding to their ranks considerably over the summer, Tottenham were unable to make much of an impact. Even though star players http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Moussa Dembele
and Clint Dempsey were added to the squad.
This is perhaps why many were disappointed with the start Tottenham made. Fans and pundits doubted whether Villas-Boas would be successful at the club, and started predicting a repeat of his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 stint.
There had also been reports in the media which claimed there was unrest among the Spurs players. However, all was forgotten when Tottenham managed three consecutive victories in the league, with their latest the pick of the bunch.
The 2-3 win at Old Trafford marks the first away victory against United since 1989, and was truly something special for the fans, the players and the manager.

"Ever since I've been at the club, every time we come here we seem to either get a lead and lose it or get beaten," he told the Spurs website.
"Over the last 20-odd years it's been one of those things that happens in football, but now it's finally over. The lads are absolutely ecstatic, delighted to get the three points and put ourselves right back in there at the top of the table."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359 also started the game, and despite not scoring, was thrilled with the result. Defoe, who is currently Tottenham’s top scorer, said that he loves his life at the club and is glad to have stayed at White Hart Lane.
“I am still living the dream. I have worked hard and always wanted to play for my country. If I am not playing football I am not happy, I just love football,” he said.
