This season has provided some ups and downs but no better result than to beat Arsenal on their own ground. I would rank this one ahead of beating Inter Milan.
Credit where credit is due, the decision last season to keep Bale at Spurs and bring him in when Assou-Ekottn was injured combined with Levy bringing in Van Der Vaart and Redknapp taking the risk in bringing to Gallas to Spurs have laid the foundation for Tottenham to win these games.
In seasons gone by we would have spent the entire match defending barely challenging Arsenal defence, but this is a different Tottenham. When Defoe came in in the second half we were far more potent and the fact that he won a header to help set up the first just shows we don't need someone at 6" 8 to lead the line up front.
I must also give credit to Younes Kaboul. I have in recent weeks felt he was too clumsy and error prone but I thought he had a good game capped off with the winner.
Things are increasingly looking good for Spurs and a win at one of the so called big 4 was inevitable, although I felt we should have ended it at Old Trafford which we played extremely well. So lets hope the lads savour this deserved victory but remember it is still only three points, it will count for nothing if we don't win our next two at home against Werder Breman and Liverpool. COYS!
