Darren Bent admits Tottenham's players are feeling the pressure of expectation after a summer of wheeling-and-dealing from management.

After scoring in last night's UEFA Cup victory over Wisla Krakow, Bent admitted: "The players are feeling the weight of expectation that's on their shoulders.

"This season has started much like the last one. We didn't do so well in the League last year.

"I hope this result is the start of us putting things right. That was an improved performance on what he have produced so far."
