Mauricio Pochettino praised his side’s mentality, as Spurs returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Villa in Birmingham.
Spurs should have arguably scored more in a game, where they created enough chances in the first half to put the game out of sight but failed to do so.
However, two goals courtesy of Harry Kane were enough to see off a poor Aston Villa side and move the Lilywhites within two points of Leicester City.
After the game, speaking to the BBC , Pochettino said:
“It was a good victory and three important points after a few games that have not been so good. We created more chances and played well. It is difficult to play against teams playing for survival but we had the right mentality and I am pleased.
“We need to keep the pressure on and win games. You cannot stop the dream of the supporters and they are right to dream. But we need to work hard.”
Spurs next game sees them face Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League, before facing in-form Bournemouth at White Hart Lane next Sunday.
