Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas is glad that his team has returned to winning ways after the 3-1 victory over West Ham last night at White Hart Lane.
Spurs managed to bounce back to winning ways after seeing a comfortable and convincing victory over the Hammers last night. The team had been on a run of 3 consecutive losses, and needed a result badly to restore their momentum.

gave Tottenham the lead at the stroke of half time.

West Ham were able to get a consolation goal through Andy Carroll, but it will mean little for the Hammers as they prepare for a tricky week in which they take on Manchester United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the Premier League.
Villas-Boas was delighted by his team’s performance after such a difficult run in the league. The team had also not fared well in the Europa League last week and therefore a result and three points were much needed. Speaking to reporters, Villas-Boas said:
“We’ve been waiting for a good solid 90-minute performance and we got it today. It was extremely important for us to get back to winning ways, particularly in a London derby. We don’t jump too far in the table but it was an important result.”
The manager then praised captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Dawson-c25288, who made his first start in the league after a series of injury troubles. He added:
“Dawson hasn’t been playing as much as he wanted because the competition is extremely difficult. He had great commitment and desire for the club. Today we felt we should start him because it was a game that suited his qualities.”
