Tottenham boss Thomas Frank spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's victory away at Crystal Palace: "Sometimes you need those margins to help you a little bit and that could have helped massively in a tight game. In the end we got over the line. The team showed great resilience today and I think the desire beat the details in the game, the desire just to win.
"I liked the discipline in the team, the way we gave very few transitions away which is the threat of Crystal Palace. The discipline to not give those away was good because that is what they want. We defended excellently, we gave maybe one chance away in open play and the rest was set pieces. In such a tight game to get the 1-0 win and a clean sheet, in a performance that is not perfect, is a massive thing."
On the side's resilience: "I don't think it's for me, they fight and they battle because they want to be a good team. They fight for each other, for the club, the staff, the fans most importantly. I liked the character and mentality in team today, there is so much to improve but you need to have that in the Premier League, especially away from home."
On Archie Gray's performance: "Very pleased for him. He shows a lot of character and there has been a lot of growth in him, no doubt about that, he just adds small layers. It's not like we are a fully free-flowing team yet, there have been a few bumps on the way, and he has been in the team and keeps doing well. Sometimes it is easier coming into a team where everything is working in a perfect way, so I think he shows that he has that resilience."
On the goal coming from a set-piece: "I think it's hugely important. It shows that one moment can decide the game. We've seen a lot of set piece goals this season from a lot of teams, so we work very hard on it. First and foremost the players need big praise because they are buying into it and understand how important it is."
On pressure easing after this win: "Every win is very nice. It was a good win, it instilled things in the character of the team which is important because that will get you through bad spells, but there is so much more we can improve."
Spurs goalscorer Archie Gray also spoke to BBC MOTD: "That is a huge win, it was really important that we came away with three points it's a really important game for us. It was a scrappy game but good that we have the three points."
On pressure from his teammates: "I wouldn't say it's pressure, we are frustrated. You can feel it from the fans and everyone. We know we can do better and we have been working hard to put that right."
On scoring his first senior goal: "It's incredible, I don't know how to sum it up. It's a feeling I have been waiting for a very long time. After 112 appearances, I will give myself leeway because of the positions [I have played] but it's an incredible feeling. I think my family will be bantering me about how I have only scored now."
