A sigh of relief went around at the final whistle blew after a frenetic match at White Hart Lane.

In what was an end to end game Tottenham finally brought an end to their wretched run with a much needed victory that sees them close the gap on the top four to just three points. Peter Crouch made amends for his moment of madness in Madrid with two goals with Luka Modric adding a third as the North Londoners were able to edge out a resilient Stoke team who may feel aggrieved that they didn’t get at least a point given the chances they created in the second period in particular. Harry Redknapp will be delighted this evening and will be hoping the win will give his side the confidence as they approach their tough run-in to the Premier League season.

So how do Tottenham fans feel about the performance today and what are the five things we learnt about Spurs this afternoon?
