Tottenham HotspurHugo Lloris believes the mentality and togetherness of the squad is the driving force behind our late, late shows in recent weeks.
Heung-Min Son struck in the 83rd minute to sink Newcastle on Saturday, making it three wins on the trot in the Premier League where we’ve found goals with 80-plus minutes on the clock.
Harry Winks headed home in the final seconds to secure the points at Fulham on 20 January while Sonny (82 minutes) and Fernando Llorente (87) turned it around against Watford last week.
Those results take our current sequence to 12 wins in our last 15 as we sit third in the Premier League.
“It’s a big win, a big win,” said skipper Hugo. “It’s all about spirit and the mentality of this squad. It’s not just the starting 11, it’s all the players involved and committed towards the team, all ready to help.
“Then, in football, you have to stick to your basics and this is what we do. It’s not easy, we miss a lot of players but the team is doing well and that’s good for the minds of everyone.
“Also, in every game the bench can make a difference and you know when it goes like this it helps the team to improve and to get the win late in the game.
“That was the case against Newcastle, Watford and Fulham. It’s all about spirit.
“In this period of the season the most important thing is to get the three points. We are in a good way and we need to carry on and try to be as consistent as possible until the end.”
