Tromso win has prepared us for Man Utd text - Tottenham's AVB

Andre Villas-Boas was thrilled to see his Tottenham side bounce back to winning ways on Thursday night.

Spurs beat Tromso IL 2-0 in Norway in the Europa League to help cover the scars from Sunday's disastrous 6-0 loss to Manchester City and the boss feels winning is the perfect tonic ahead of this weekend's massive test against Manchester United at home.

"I am very happy for the players to have bounced back from the defeat against Man City," the Spurs boss said.

"Obviously the opponent we have on Sunday is the biggest that we can have.

"But to prepare for that game, it was important to get back to winning ways tonight and we did it in a fashion where we looked solid and created lots of chances. I am extremely happy with the performance and result."
