Tottenham manager, Jose Mourinho has come out to say that Arsenal made things difficult for his boys in the north London derby on Sunday.
He recently revealed that the victory was no easy feat for his team and it was a big game in every sense.
According to him, Mikel Arteta and his players were superb tactically and very organised, but Spurs players had it in them to solve the problem they were faced with.
Mourinho added that he is happy with the victory and the performance, but 2nd half showings can be worked on.
His words, “It was a big game in every sense, not just because it was Tottenham-Arsenal,”
“I want to give words, congratulations to Mikel Arteta because he gave us a very difficult game. Tactically they were very good, very organised. They gave us problems, problems we were able to resolve. They have a good tactical courage and incredible spirit. They are a good team and he is a good coach.
“We were reading the game and making the changes to win it because 2-0 was in our hands against a great and difficult opponent but my boys did well today.
“I am very happy with the result and the performance, but of course I want the team in the second half to play in a different way. In reality you don’t always do what you want to do because your opponent forces you in a different direction.
“You are winning 2-0, why would you expose your defensive block if you don’t have to? It was a very difficult game.
“I can imagine tomorrow the headlines will be about them not being in a good position in the table, but I believe with these players and Mikel it will be Arsenal vs Tottenham again.”
