Tottenham returned to winning ways in style on Saturday as they hit Burnley for five in N17.
Following the disappointing showing in midweek as they lost at Manchester United, Jose Mourinho's side were at the top of their game as they raced into a 3-0 lead at the break.
As good as it was to see Son Heung-min score a goal of the season contender, Harry Kane hit a brilliant double and Moussa Sissoko find the back of the net again, one of the most pleasing aspects from the win was for the team to finally keep a clean sheet under Mourinho.
While the Lilywhites have impressed going forward following the appointment of the new head coach, they have leaked goals and conceded two in each of the four games prior to the shutout against the Clarets.
The hectic schedule has given the team very little time with Mourinho on the training pitch at Hotspur Way but Toby Alderweireld was very pleased with how things went at the weekend.
"The amount of games is unbelievable, so there is no time to work," he told the Evening Standard . "But when there is a little bit of time we try to — and then you see some things coming back.
"We have to be tactical. People think about defensive process. It’s not only the goalkeeper, the centre-backs or the full-backs. It’s a team process. So, it starts with the goalkeeper, it works as a team.
"Sometimes we want to press and not everyone is doing their job — and then the pressure comes on the defence.
"We didn’t press all the time on Saturday. Sometimes we played compact, but there was a high line, so I think we did well there."
Spurs return to Premier League action on Sunday as they take on Wolves at Molineux.
