Speaking after the match, he told the official Tottenham channel: “Games like this are always tough. I relish games like that, opponents like that – it has proved over the last few years how much of a good striker he is. “I am just happy it went our way today, we kept the clean sheet and managed to stop him from scoring.“It is always the goal for us defenders to keep the ball as far away as possible from our goal and try and keep the clean sheet, and we did that today.“I think it has given us a lot of confidence, the way we have performed in some of the games over the past few weeks. “The results are not always going our way, but I think we showed the character and the togetherness we have. Sometimes we have to grind out results like we did today and I feel once we hit that step and we learn to do that consistently, we will be a real tough force.”What Spurs must build on nextIndeed, being able to grind out results is vital in the Premier League, where every side is capable of beating the other.However, Spurs need to ensure that grinding out results does not become a regular theme, as it has been for much of the season, where they are often forced into playing on the back foot by their opponent.Undoubtedly, the result remains important, and the focus now will be on building on this performance and bringing more consistency to their play.READ MORE: Daniel Levy breaks silence on Tottenham exit as former chairman receives CBE honourThe post Kevin Danso reveals two signs that Tottenham can grow into ‘a real force’ under Thomas Frank appeared first on Spurs Web.
