Vertonghen delighted with his six goals for Spurs

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen was delighted with his goal in victory over Swansea City.

The Belgian has struck six goals this season.

Vertonghen said: "I don't think I have ever had such a prolific run in front of goal.

"I have always scored quite a lot of goals for a defender but I would say this is a good run. I actually work a lot on scoring in training. Not only on these finishes but after training I stay outside with a few lads and finish a little bit.

"It certainly helps, so I will try to do it a little bit more because we need everyone to chip in with goals now. I always try to score.

"I scored one and I wanted to go for a second one but I don't care who scores, I am just aiming for third or fourth place.

"If we finish in third or fourth place without me scoring again I'll be happy."
