"It is a huge result. We were under pressure to win before the game because of course it was a very important game.

"Our early goal maybe influenced too much how we played because we missed a second goal and after that we wanted to protect the lead and sometimes we were under pressure.

"Tottenham played well, we must say. For me, they were absolutely up for it and we needed some special resilience to get away with it.

"As long as we didn't score the second goal, of course it was a very tight game, but in the end, for us, it is three massive points."

"It gets us a bit closer to Chelsea and makes the game next week even more interesting. We are now back to four points behind, we have a game in hand and we've played two away games on the trot now.

"We have five games at home and we will see. It makes, of course, the next game a very big one.

"We needed the three points after a disappointing result at Stoke and I think that was still on our mind.

"Overall, we know to stay in the race it was vital to win and our away fans have been brilliant since the start of the season."
