Fulham's Hangeland: Tottenham one of the top teams in England right now

Fulham defender Brede Hangeland feels Tottenham are playing some of the best football across England right now.

Despite losing 3-2 to Liverpool on Sunday, Spurs remain third on the Premier League table ahead of the coming weekend's visit of Fulham.

Hangeland is well aware just how difficult the contest will be because of Tottenham's form but he feels Fulham are in good enough shape to potentially cause an upset.

"I'm sure many will see Spurs as the favourites," Hangeland told the London Evening Standard.

"But that's fine, we know what we are capable of and we like to think we can take something from the game.

"They are right now are one of the top teams in the country.

"Andre Villas-Boas has them playing some really good football this term, and throughout their squad they have some very talented players.

"Gareth Bale is in fine form, whilst they also have the likes of Aaron Lennon, Mousa Dembele and Jermain Defoe who can make a difference in the final third."
