Villas-Boas: "It was a very good performance"

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has insisted that his side delivered a "very good performance" against Tromso in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Jermain Defoe netted twice before Christian Eriksen scored his first goal for the club as Spurs won 3-0, and Villas-Boas was pleased with the number of chances that his team created against the Norwegians.

The 35-year-old told reporters: "It was a very good performance. We kept the ball well and created a lot of attacking chances.

"We wanted the 3-0 a little bit earlier to take the sting out of the game because of the danger of them scoring, but the second half wasn't as good as the first.

"I think, overall, it was a good win and a good performance."

Spurs top Group K after Anzhi Makhachkala could only draw 0-0 with Sheriff Tiraspol.
