Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp highlighted their commitment to the cause after victory at Blackburn Rovers.
Spurs had to dig in late on to collect the three points.
"We went 2-1 up but they piled everything in and really put us under pressure," Redknapp told the Spurs website.
"Adebayor came back and made a great block in the last minute, that's what you have to do to win games like this, everyone has to fight for it.
"It was difficult but we fought for everything and got the result."
