AVB urges Tottenham to focus on two fronts

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has called on his players to refocus on winning the Europa League as well as clinching Champions League qualification. A 3-2 loss at Liverpool on Sunday halted Spurs' 12-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League.

"We did a couple of mistakes which we don't normally do," Villas-Boas said.

"There are no perfect games for everyone but I think we just have to use it as an example towards the future.

"It was a sign of our character, even if it was not our day. We will reflect on it on Tuesday and move forward.

"We have a wonderful opportunity to continue in the Europa League and then we will focus back again on Fulham.

"The more you get to the end of the season the more inspiring it can be.

"Our rewards can be with the Europa League trophy and Champions League qualification - that is our main ambition."
