Mateta later said, "Very important, first win this season and we worked hard to have another win. It was important to win against Tottenham. The first three points.

"Every day in training, I always want to show the manager that I'm fit and can score for the team.

"I say every time, if he (Ebere Eze) played good then we would win. Today he gave me the pass."
