London's "Tottenham" triumphed in the North London derby on Sunday and maintained realistic chances to fight for a place in the Europa League. After the match, Jose Mourinho praised his team's dedication and said that he made the right tactical decisions in these matches. "I think that the most important aspects in these matches were tactical. To be honest, I think Mikel Arteta found the way that 'Arsenal' should go. Lately, they have been progressing, so we needed to adapt a little to their game, which we did perfectly. Even at the beginning of the second half, when the opponents had more possession, we did not have bigger problems. Our two central midfielders did a great job. During the match I didn't even think about it, but 'Arsenal' had 48 hours more rest before this match. It was tough, but my players fought from the bottom of their hearts. Even in the last minutes, when we were leading 2:1, we did not face greater pressure from the opponents. We are happy because we pleased our fans and continue to fight for a place in the Europa League," said J. Mourinho after the match.
