"I have definitely learned you have to be happy with your wins and appreciate them. I think there was many good things. We defended really well and gave little away throughout the game against a really good Villarreal side. I think offensively we didn't hit the highest level. There was definitely a spell in the second half where we decided let's give it to the Villarreal guys and then we'll sprint back, that's a very good fun thing."
"It was a very even game that we just edged. We have a very good foundation to stand on in terms of our defensive organisation. I think it's good and we gave little away. This is the Champions League against a good team. Also, we took a step forward against West Ham, offensively is the area we need to get better."
Tottenham secured a 1-0 Champions League win over Villarreal courtesy of an own goal by goalkeeper Luiz Junior. The team defended strongly and conceded few chances, particularly in the first half, but displayed a dip in offensive quality after the break. Centre-back Micky van de Ven received a yellow card for a last-defender foul. The win under manager Thomas Frank continues a positive start in the Premier League, with Spurs sitting third, but the side must improve attacking play ahead of tougher Champions League fixtures against Monaco and Paris St-Germain.
