Yeah, I tried to just take everything, to be honest, because he was coming back to his own goal and I spotted the opportunity, but I gladly reacted quite quickly and I've heard it's quite tight.
1.1 centimetres.
Yeah, I'm happy it just didn't go over the line, to be honest.
Great defending.
Cleared it off the line, you know, it's one of those things, I think it was... You see it all the time where a keeper's shouted and a defender comes and clears it.
I spotted the opportunity, Eddie was coming back towards his goal, as I said, and tried to take him and the ball, but it deflected off him and he just had to react quickly.
I think those sort of things in games can change games and realise what kind of situation you're in.
In the first half, we set a great tempo, moved the ball quickly and created some great chances and we wanted to carry that on from the first half into the second and we showed that desire, like Vinny said.
I think everyone knew the magnitude of the game and wanted to get behind us.
I think they feel the same thing as us, the passion that we're obviously in second position and it was a massive game to get closer to Liverpool.
As I say, we're still fighting right to the end.
It's still early doors, there's so many games to play.
As I said, the magnitude of the game tonight was everything, and everyone got behind us, we knew what we were playing for, and I think we showed that in the spirit of how we played and how we worked hard for each other, so unselfish.
Yeah, really satisfying with the conditions of the pitch, top quality side we were up against tonight and we knew it was going to be a difficult match.
Never easy coming to Wembley or playing against Spurs wherever they are.
But yeah, really thrilled to get over the line with three points and another clean sheet.
Talk us through the pitch then, John.
I found out quite late that they were having an NFL match on it.
Obviously, it's out of Spurs' hands and obviously Wembley were holding the occasion, so we had to just get on with it and we saw it kind of as a positive.
didn't try and put any negative spin on it for us and making excuses.
