thumbnail Hello,  The Portuguese coach dismissed the idea that
his side struggled in the absence of Gareth Bale against Everton
on Sunday  Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas insists his
side's top-four fate is still in their own hands, but pointed to
upcoming clashes against Manchester City and Chelsea as crucial.
Emmanuel Adebayor gave Spurs a 34-second lead, but strikes from
Phil Jagielka and Kevin Mirallas looked set to condemn Villas-
Boas' side to a second consecutive home league loss before Gylfi
Sigurdsson earned a 2-2 draw late on.  Despite only claiming
four points from the last four Premier League games Tottenham
remain in the Champions League qualification spots, but Villas-
Boas has acknowledged strong displays against City and Chelsea
will go a long way to deciding the team's end-of-season
achievements.   "Credit to Everton because of their organisation
and how good they can be. In the end it was important for us to
salvage a point against a team that was fighting for the same
objectives as us.
