MORE FROM MOURINHO
Mourinho added: “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 about them not being in a good position in the table but I believe with these players and Mikel it will be Arsenal v Tottenham again.”
JOSE SPEAKS
Speaking on Sky Sports, Jose Mourinho says: “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 spirt. They are a good team and he is a good coach.”
ROLE REVERSAL
Speaking of his role today where he had more touches in his defensive box, Kane says: “This is a season where we are all pulling in the right direction, everyone is willing to defend, attack, whatever it takes to win the game.
“Set pieces are a massive part of the game, and the role I play, clearing as many as possible, is vital for the team.
“I’m happy to do it and happy to win games.”
