Lucas Moura insists under-fire Jose Mourinho has the full backing of his Tottenham squad after ending nightmare week with win at Aston Villa, claiming 'we believe in the coach because we know his history'

Tottenham forward Lucas Moura insists the whole squad is behind manager Jose Mourinho after they bounced back from a difficult week with a 2-0 win at Aston Villa.

Spurs followed up a limp defeat in the north London derby with an embarrassing Europa League exit to Dinamo Zagreb that led to a full and public inquest.

Mourinho accused his players of lacking professionalism while captain Hugo Lloris surprised many with his honesty in a television interview.

Lloris claimed fringe players were causing trouble, perhaps hinting at some of the stories leaked to the press about Mourinho's training methods, and suggested the Europa League result was a consequence of deep-rooted problems at the club.
