Tottenham defender Michael Dawson:
“There’s no better feeling than a late goal. We had plenty of chances to kill them off earlier but they dug deep and their keeper made some great saves.
“It’s a win and a clean sheet – but I always say it starts from the front. We created chances so it’s looking positive.
“It’s still early but we’ve put ourselves in a great position.
“It normally takes time for new signings to settle, but the way we’ve got four wins out of five, you can’t argue with that.”
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas:
“Today it was different from normal in that there was justice in football. We created so many chances that there could only be one winner.
“Last season we had the best record away from home after Man United. We looked very strong.
“Bearing in mind the win they got against Man City there won’t be many teams getting points here so I’m happy.
“[Cardiff’s] David Marshall is a great goalkeeper. He did extremely well today.
“It’s a great win. But I suffered a lot…like everyone else!”
Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay:
“The boys put in a magnificent effort against a very good team. The amount of chances we had, the disallowed goal. Hugo Lloris is a very lucky man tonight.
“It’s about being more clinical but we matched a very good team toe to toe again.
“We put them under pressure and I’m very proud of my players. They’re a great group to work with and I’m glad I’m in the trenches with them this season.
“They’re relishing the size of the task this season and are giving as good as they get. They’re loving the fact that we’re in the Premier League and we’re actually competing.”
