Dejan Kulusevski says a rare week off enabled Tottenham to "get back to our principles" in Sunday's 1-0 win over Manchester United, as he targeted success in the Europa League and a long “winning streak" in the Premier League.
Spurs recorded back-to-back wins in the league for the first time since September, when they also beat Brentford and United, and made it three victories over the Red Devils this term – with Kulusevski aware that they could still meet again in the Europa League.
"We needed this week of rest, we need it a lot...[to] start training, get back to our principles, get some players back and it was a good win.
"I really needed that week, to get away for two days with the family because we don’t spend a lot of time with our families when we play every day and sleep at hotels, so you want to have a life also.
Spurs crashed out of both domestic cups last week to leave their season hinging on progress in Europe and remain well adrift of the top eight in the league, but Kulusevski remains optimistic that they can finish the campaign strongly now their injuries are clearing.
