Excellent result but Spurs were the better footballing side...

I think the first half they were definitely. Better passing, better movement and more chances. Thought we bossed them a bit in the second half, and apart from Alli missing his golden chance from 6-7 yards I didn't think they offered much else. 

We pressed them hard and contested the 50-50's and I think it caught them off guard a bit, Alli, Eriksen, Sissoko, Dembele, Winks & Son didn't get the freedom and space that they've become accustomed too, and probably weren't expecting the level of physicality that we brought.

Also seeing a lot of chatter about, 'oh it would have been different had Kane been playing...' 

Well he wasn't, this is the Premier League - you have to play what's in front of you, talking hypothetical's doesn't change the outcome.
