Spurs boss Thomas Frank says his first Champions league win is “special”, adding that he’s “very happy with that”.

“I definitely learned you have to be happy with your wins and appreciate them. I think there was many good things. We defended really well and gave little away throughout the game against a really good Villarreal side. I think offensively we didn't hit the highest level.

“There was definitely a spell second half where we decided let's give it to the Villareal guys and then we'll sprint back, that's a very good fun thing. It was a very even game that we just edged.

"I learned that they [his tplayers] are working very hard and we have a very good foundation to stand on in terms of our defensive organisation. I think it's good and we gave little away.

“This is the Champions League against a good team. Also, I knew it we took a step forward against West Ham, offensively is the area we need to get better,” he added.

"Lucas Bergvall says that Villarreal put in “a great performance”, and he calls a 1-0 win at home “amazing”.

“We managed to get three points today and we talk a lot about 'clean sheet mentality' and they did not have a shot on target, so we did a really good job."

“We talked a lot about 'clean sheet mentality' this year because we conceded a lot last year. My relationship with him [Frank] is really good. I just want to get back to the form I had at the end of last year, and I feel like I am. I have help from him and the video analysts to get better every day."

On how it feels to play in the Champions League, he adds: "It's a dream since I was a young kid. Unbelievable feeling, and at home and to get three points as well, amazing."

Spurs defender Micky van de Ven spoke to Amazon Prime just now, and called it a tough game today.

"I think it was a tough one, not an easy one. We didn't play well today but it was an important one.

"We had a really good start and of course you want to build on that but Villarreal are a really difficult team to play against. Also, every time on the counter-attack they keep the strikers forward, they're really dangerous. Of course you want to build on the 1-0 at the start of the game but at the end we got the three points and that's the most important."

On his yellow card for the late foul, he says: "Of course, you never know what the referee is going to do in that moment. I think because I go for the ball it's not a red card. I haven't seen it back properly, so I cant say what I think at the moment."

"I think we are a difficult team to play against, for sure. Structure-wise we are standing really good and we all know what to do, so we're a difficult team to beat,” he adds as he finishes.

That win puts Spurs fifth in the leaguer phase table, though of course only 12 teams have played so far.

Only Qarabag, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Union SG are above Thomas Frank’s side.

Villarreal sit in 34th out of 36.

Spurs’ next game comes this weekend against Brighton away. That one kicks off on Saturday at 3pm.

Their next UCL match is against Bodo/Glimt, who they beat in the Europa League semis last season. That one takes place in Norway on 30 September at 8pm BST.

Not the best start to the campaign for Spurs but Thomas Frank won’t mind – a win is a win after all.

Not a good game for the neutral, but Spurs open the campaign with a win that could prove vital come January.

There were some encouraging performances from Spurs – notably Kudus, Bergvall and the centre-back pairing – but ultimately Frank will probably write it off to early season and move on quickly.
