Tudor hails ‘beautiful’ support from Spurs fans and praises Archie Gray’s performance Igor Tudor says Spurs tasting victory again for the first time in a while can be an important step for his players as they turn their attentions back to a Premier League relegation battle. Tottenham beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 at home in the Champions to give Tudor his first victory in charge, but exited the competition following their 5-2 first-leg defeat. Tudor praised the fans for the support they gave the team and says he is encouraged by the improvements he is seeing.

“The energy was really nice from the first moment,” he said. “They (the fans) recognised that the team tried to do everything they can do. “From the first moment until the last moment, they were with us.

Beautiful. Thanks. “It was important (to win), that’s why I was angry about the counter-attack in the last minute.

We go (forward) with nine (players) and I got a little bit angry because you at least want to take this (victory). “But I understand the players wanted to score a goal but it was nice in the end eventually to get the victory. ” Tudor also praised the performance of youngster Archie Gray, who was again impressive in a midfield role.
