Spurs matchwinner Stambouli delighted with Europa League win

Tottenham midfielder Benjamin Stambouli was delighted with their 1-0 win over Europa League opponents Partizan Belgrade.

The French midfielder's second-half strike means Spurs are through to the last 32 of the Europa League.

"It was good to celebrate this goal with the fans," he told ITV4.

"We needed to win this game to finish first in the group and now we can think forward."

Spurs are first but need to avoid defeat in their final game with Besiktas to keep that spot.

"The Europa League is good, even if (it is) only the Europa League," Stambouli added. "We played a good team who like to fight.

"We need to improve and we tried to score one more goal than them."
