Noble hails superb defensive performance
The captain insisted he was not unhappy after Pedro Obiang’s strike had been cancelled out by a Spurs equaliser saying: “I’m not too disappointed. We defended brilliantly and to have four points in in to days is great.
“It was a fantastic defensive performance and the team worked really hard throughout and Pedro strike was brilliant.”
The midfielder had strode forward to hammer a magnificent drive into the Spurs net on 70th minute but Noble laughed: “I have no idea how he got into that position because he and I had been told to sit in front of the back line and go nowhere.”
Goalscorer Obiang added:”We worked so hard and when I got into that position I decided the best thing to do was have a try – it was a great goal for us and the first shot on tare for us.”
