"I wasn't at all disappointed with how we played. I was disappointed to be 1-0 down, obviously," the Spurs boss said after the match at White Hart Lane.
"But I couldn't criticise the players for the way we tried to play, the way we moved the ball around.
"I thought we did as well as we could and made opportunities. We just needed to stick one away.
"And when the chances came, it was important we tried to finish them.
"We stuck at it and that was good.
"The subs all came on and played their part. Alan Hutton had a great second half.
"We haven't really seen Pav (Roman Pavlyuchenko) and then he scores.
"It was a great result for us. There was a point in the game when I thought we wouldn't win the game.
"I'd be a liar sitting here saying I always knew we were going to come back and win it."
