AVB warns Spurs of job ahead

Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas says his side still have plenty to do to secure a top-four finish, despite moving seven points clear of Arsenal after a 2-1 derby win

Spurs' victory at White Hart Lane also moved them back up into third place in the Premier League, but Villas-Boas remains aware that his side have several difficult fixtures still to come.

He told reporters: "We still have some difficult games to play against big teams - Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City plus Everton - teams who have same objectives as ours, so it hasn't finished yet.

"Everything is still possible and we just have to gather the most amount of points that we can.

"There is a great focus on trying to make this year the year we qualify for the Champions League once again.

"Everybody's ambition is to be there. The club could be propelled into a big club in England in the future."

Spurs are 1.28 to finish in the top four and secure a Champions League, unless Arsenal win the Champions League and finish outside the top four.

The Gunners are 201.00 to be crowned European champions and 2.75 to finish in the top four themselves, with manager Arsene Wenger admitting that their task got a lot harder due to their weekend loss.

He added: "We have to fight and it will be difficult now, because we dropped points that we couldn't afford to drop. It will be a massive challenge."
