Vertonghen hails Spurs character

Tottenham 2 Everton 1

A stunning strike from Kevin Mirallas put Everton in front, but Christian Eriksen levelled before a rare goal from Roberto Soldado gave Tottenham a lead they kept to the final whistle.

“I think we can do better in possession, but I think we showed character,” Vertonghen said. “We had a very good defensive line, the midfield and strikers as well were very good. It was a team performance today.”
