Maurizio Poketino did not hide his satisfaction after his team played a remarkable match and triumphed with 0-3 to Old Trafford, sending a clear message to rivals that Tottenham was ready for an attack at the very top.

"This is a very important victory for us because we stayed with nine points, if we did not celebrate people will continue with the stories that we can not win top teams. This is a clear message from our club, that we believe in ourselves and we play good football, "- said Poketino.

He also welcomed the hosts' game, which missed several excellent chances for the last year's derby-duel.

"It's never easy to play here against United, you've seen that even today hosts played great, but they failed to reach. It might be easy to take Old Trafford first, but it's hard to keep this lead, to win Usually the teams for this leading goal stopped the dams, but we scored two more goals and we showed that we are a top-level team on every pitch, "said proudly Poketino.
