Tottenham manager Martin Jol feels his side's first league
victory over Chelsea in 16 years should act as a turning point for
their season.
"We needed to win a top game," said Jol. "We tried to attack and be
positive. It took 25 minutes to get going but after that we were
terrific.
"It's a long time since we beat Chelsea and is something to be
proud of.
"They said we'd never beaten a top side and that was a bit annoying
but we did that. It was a great performance."
He added: "Robbie Keane was probably man of the match and Michael
Dawson and Ledley King did ever so well but we had so many other
players who did well.
"We woke up when they scored and we had nothing to lose.
"We said before the game we had to be brave and play with
confidence - and we did that in the second half.
"Pascal Chimbonda was injured and really couldn't play on but I had
no defenders, so he did. He was the best evidence of our spirit and
character.
"I feel it has been a great week for the club, with us winning in
the Uefa Cup and then beating the champions. It is a real
achievement."
