Lucas Moura: Spurs mentality has transformed

Lucas Moura says a new self-belief is behind Tottenham's form surge.

Spurs were impressive 2-0 winners against Europa League opponents Dinamo Zagreb last night.

And going into the game, Lucas said: “Yes of course. For me, we have unbelievable players, we have creative players.

“We need to keep the ball to dictate games. The most important thing is we make use of these players in every game.

“We have so much quality and if we keep the ball and attack we lessen the risk of teams coming at us and they can win the game for us."

Spurs have put themselves right back in the race for the top four with a run of three wins in a row.

Brazil winger Moura said: “I think the main thing was the mentality because we just needed to have the belief in ourselves.

“We needed to know how good we are because we have terrific players, a very good squad and the quality in the Premier League to win games.

“When we realise that and we have confidence we are able to dominate games."
