Football: Mourinho - 'collective soul' needed from players to win matches

Carlos Vinicius and Harry Kane scored to send Tottenham within three points of the Champions League places with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday. The English Premier League win marked a quick recovery for Jose Mourinho's side after being eliminated from the Europa League on Thursday and losing last weekend's north London derby to Arsenal. Tottenham took the lead in the 29th minute with the first real chance of the game. They doubled their lead midway through the second half when Kane clinically despatched a penalty, having been fouled by Matty Cash. Tottenham moved above struggling champion Liverpool into sixth place, three points from fourth-place Chelsea with nine games remaining. Aston Villa are 10th.
