Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas paid tribute to the club's
fans after seeing his side overcome Hull City in a penalty shootout to
reach the League Cup quarterfinals. Villas-Boas had been critical of his side's supporters after their 1-0 victory over the same team in the Premier League on Sunday, accusing them of creating a "very tense, very negative" atmosphere.
However, after seeing his team beat Hull 8-7 on penalties following a gripping 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane on Wednesday, he said he was happy with their support.
"It was a great, entertaining game and the supporters were absolutely fantastic," the Tottenham manager said.
"To see their response after we suffered a setback was very pleasant. They can make that difference for us. It was a great atmosphere and it was great for the team to feel that empathy with the supporters."
Tottenham were drawn to face West Ham United at home in the quarterfinals in December.
