Tottenham's Sandro: We 'controlled' win over Limassol

Tottenham midfielder Sandro felt he and his teammates controlled proceedings in their 3-0 win over AEL Limassol on Thursday night.

Spurs progressed to the group stage of the Europa League courtesy of a 5-1 aggregate win in their play-off against the Cypriot club and Sandro felt it was a commanding performance in the second leg at White Hart Lane.

"We felt comfortable during the game. We started well and controlled the match," the Brazilian told Spurs TV.

"I think they only had two or three shots at goal so (goalkeeper) Hugo (Lloris) had an easy day.

"I think these two games were very good. We have to try and play like this every game."

Harry Kane, Paulinho and Andros Townsend all scored as Spurs eased past Limassol to make the group stage proper of Europe's second tier club competition.
