Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has revealed that his team were emotional at the final whistle of their 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers today.

Spurs were booed off at the break, only to launch a second-half comeback and register Villas-Boas's first home win in charge of the club.

"We have wanted this home win for some time but for whatever reason it has escaped us," Villas-Boas said.

"It's an important win for the team. We wanted to repay the fans for the trust they have put in us so that's why everyone felt emotional at the end."

The win catapults Spurs into eighth place, while QPR remain stuck in the relegation zone.
