Tottenham head coach Andre Villas-Boas is delighted with the mentality and determination of his side after their 2-1 victory over New York Red Bulls.

The north Londoners were trailing to a Kenny Cooper goal at half-time before Gareth Baela dn Gylfi Sigurdsson found the net to hand Spurs the win.

“It was good and that’s mainly because of the response in the second half,” Villas-Boas.

“We were a bit spread out on the pitch in the first half and they were playing in-between us.

“We came back very strong and managed to get the win that everyone deserved.

“When you go into the dressing room 1-0 down and you are able to turn it around, showing strong character, that is always positive, because of the players’ mentality and determination to get the result. That’s a good sign.”
