Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul is delighted to get the points despite not being at their best.
Spurs recorded a 1-0 victory over a dour West Bromwich Albion at White Hart Lane last night and the French centre-back, who helped keep the team's fifth clean sheet from their past nine outings, is ok with winning ugly as long as it keeps them near the top.
"I suppose we are a massive team in England now.
"We're playing against high-quality teams who can play football, but when they come here they just drop back, they just defend.
"We have to be patient and pass the ball properly and find solutions. I know it's very hard but that's the situation and the most important thing is to win.
"It's a good result for us, we just have to keep this run going. It wasn't the best game ever but you have to win those matches, take three points and look forward to the next one.
"That's the only way we will achieve something at the end of the season.""Last year we lost or drew these kind of games, which is why we finished fifth at the end of the season rather than fourth or third, so this season we don't want to make the same mistakes," Kaboul said.
