Tottenham Hotspur
"It was a great game and we really played well, especially in the second half after we went 1-0 up. It's crazy how it ended 1-0, but we'll take it. In these big games, you just need that first goal and then the spaces start to open up and you get more chances. That's what happened and we should have been more clinical, we know that, but we played very well and kept them quiet until the last five minutes when they piled on the pressure. Overall, it's a great day."
Mauricio Pochettino
"I congratulate the players because they played so well and to win the derby, three points that put us in a very good position in the battle for the top four, is something to be really happy about. Cech was very good and we suffered a little at the end but the win was most important and now we keep going - Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday."
The performance was magnificent, amazing. We deserved the victory.
Dele
"We definitely deserved to win. It shouldn't have been as difficult as it was at the end, we should have been cruising, three or four-nil up. It was a fantastic performance but if you don't kill off teams like this you are always going to be a bit edgy at the end. We should never have been in that position. I had a good chance and we had some clear-cut chances that we need to be more clinical with - but it an amazing header from Harry to win it."
