The manager was full of praise for his team as he lauded their comeback after a strong second half against QPR. Tottenham had gone down in the first half courtesy of a Bobby http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zamora-c40983 goal, but came back strong after half time and scored two goals in quick

"[It was a] good, important win for the players who put all the effort in. All credit to them.”

"[It is a] massive win. It was vital to get [our] first home win for us and the fans. We have quick players on the counter-attack. That's the kind of team we can be."
