AVB: We wanted to win

Andre Villas-Boas remains hopeful that Tottenham can still snatch a place in the Champions League despite our 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

We all were looking to come away from Stamford Bridge with all three points to really put us back in the driving seat for European football. With two games remaining Spurs are two points adrift of Arsenal, with Chelsea a point better off.

We now have to rely on Arsenal dropping points against Wigan and Newcastle which seems unlikely, while we have to win against Stoke City and Sunderland.

“We wanted to win obviously,” he said.

“The feeling is that a point is not bad, but it is not dependent on us now. Someone will have to drop points. The task was to win here.

“Our focus will be to continue to do our job and hopefully with the teams Arsenal and Chelsea have to play, fighting for survival, something can happen.

“Anything can happen. The Premier League is completely unpredictable. Chelsea have a difficult game against Villa at the weekend.

“We have a difficult game against Stoke as well who are also fighting.

“This fixture before the emotions of the last day can be decisive.”
