Tottenham defender Ben Davies was delighted with victory over Bournemouth on Sunday.
Spurs eventually won 3-1 on the day.
Davies later said: "We needed these three points today. It was tough, they are a really good team and they pressed well. We were cynical, we were patient and we kept the ball well. It was a good result. When they went behind they had nothing to lose and probably put in something more.
"We have shown that we are a good team and when there is adversity we face it. It's not a question of the quality of football, but of the fight and heart that we have shown.
"We are still there even though we have been through difficult times. It's not something exclusive to us. Many are realising that there are many good teams in the league this season."
