Norwich defender Bassong: I was nervous about Tottenham return

Norwich City defender Sebastien Bassong enjoyed taking a point off his old club Tottenham.

Bassong looked assured on his Spurs return, where he spent three years after an £8m move from St James' Park.

"Personally I'm really delighted about my return - I was a bit… not nervous but it was a little bit emotional for me, but I'm really happy about how it went," he admitted to the Pink 'Un.

"I'm really happy with how we played. I haven't lost yet here and I think we deserved to win because we really created many chances and Brad Friedel had a magnificent game.

"I wasn't really focused on Spurs - just focused on us. But I was expecting us to play a good game, have a good defensive shape and create many chances - and we did. It's unlucky for Spurs but I wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season."
