Villas-Boas: Defeat good wake-up call for Spurs

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas admits defeat to West Ham United was a "wake up call" for his players.

Tottenham fans booed their team off at the final whistle, but Villas-Boas is refusing to panic.

"It's a wake up call that we have to react to, we have to bounce back and I trust the team to do that," the Spurs boss said.

"I think we can't undermine what we have been doing up to now.

"Obviously it's a defeat. Had we won this game we would have been just one point behind.

"It's something we don't like, but we have to put into perspective of what we've done before."
