JAKARTA - The manager of Tottenham Hotspur, Jose Mourinho, was unable to hide his joy. He admitted that this arose because of the emotional aspect of the players when they won 2-0 over West Bromwich Albion in Week 23 of the Premier League in London on Sunday.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min's goals against West Brom ensured Tottenham returned to winning ways, ending a bad streak of losing streaks in their previous three matches.

"We cannot lose three times in a row, four times in a row, so this is indeed a big game for us," Mourinho said after the match, quoted by Antara from the official Tottenham website.

"I really like the attitude, commitment, togetherness and desire of the players to win. Of course I like the team's performance in terms of football, but their emotional aspect, I think the players are very, very good," he added.

Despite being able to appear to dominate the game from the start of football and release five attempts, two of which were right on target, Tottenham had to stop drinking in a zero state.

However, the frustration that has arisen due to failure to take advantage of these opportunities is considered by Mourinho to be conquered by Tottenham's players.

In fact, he did not hesitate, saying that the solid performance was born from the hearts of his players.

"We should have been in the lead at halftime, but we didn't, and the players were able to overcome the frustration and pressure that came to keep trying to score in the second half, and do well," he said.

"Then, in the final period when West Brom played faster and tried to create problems, the players could overcome that. I consider this a good and solid performance, which mainly comes from the generosity of the players," concluded Mourinho.

The victory over West Brom made Tottenham temporarily move up to sixth place in the standings with a collection of 36 points, while waiting for the result of Chelsea's match (36) which took place later.

Tottenham will next visit leaders Manchester City on Saturday, February 13, but three days earlier they will travel to Goodison Park to face Everton in their FA Cup fifth round tie.
