Tottenham Hotspur striker Roberto Soldado has revealed that he is "ecstatic" after scoring the winning goal in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Cardiff City in the Premier League.

The Spaniard ended an eight-game goal drought when he found the net in the 28th minute at White Hart Lane to keep Spurs' European hopes alive.

"I'm feeling really, really good and I'm really happy that we got the three points - ecstatic actually," Soldado told the club's official website.

"It's a big win. We've got a really difficult month coming up so to get the three points and to be in a position to build on that means everything at the moment."

Tottenham's Premier League campaign resumes on Saturday when they make the trip to London rivals Chelsea.
