Dembele focuses on Spurs’ attacking potential

Mousa Dembele stopped short of backing interim manager Tim Sherwood for the Tottenham job, preferring instead to focus on a “very important” win at Southampton.

After a chaotic week in which Andre Villas-Boas was shown the door, Spurs secured a 3-2 victory at St Mary’s.

It was the first win of Sherwood’s temporary reign after Spurs exited the Capital One Cup against West Ham in his only other match in temporary charge.
