Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas has said that Paulinho's late winner against Cardiff City ensured that justice was served in the Welsh capital this afternoon.

The North Londoners peppered the Bluebirds' goal at the Cardiff City Stadium but had to wait until the third minute of injury time before the Brazilian midfielder finally found a way past David Marshall.

"Today it was different from normal in that there was justice in football," BBC Sport quotes Villas-Boas as saying. "We created so many chances that there could only be one winner.

"Bearing in mind the win they got against Man City there won't be many teams getting points here so I'm happy. It's a great win but I suffered a lot - like everyone else!"

The result sees Spurs go second in the Premier League after five games.
