Andre Villas-Boas declared his Tottenham Hotspur side are back to winning ways after last night's 2-0 result kept them in Europa League cruise control.
Spurs made it five wins out of five in the competition thanks to an own goal from Adnan Сausevic and Mousa Dembele's 75th-minute effort against Norwegian side Tromso.
Villas-Boas' future is under a cloud after their 6-0 defeat to Manchester City and with Manchester United to come next in the Premier League.
However, the Portuguese struck a confident note after yesterday's European clash played amid snowy conditions and on an artificial pitch.

"It was important for us to get back to winning ways," Villas-Boas said via his club's site. "We said that before the game when we were in London.
"We knew about the conditions, the snow and the artificial pitch and the players did well to get the result.
"We played well down the flanks, moved the ball well in midfield and created lots of good situations. I’m happy for the team and happy we bounced back in preparation for the match against [Manchester] United.
"Generally, we played very well and it was important that we won in a comfortable way with a result that would put us through and we did exactly that."
