Good character. I think in the end only three points but we need to keep calm. "In the same way we can be happy because Manchester United is a great team and it's not easy to play and come here. Maybe it's easy to score but after 1-0 you want to play safe and say, 'OK, come on, let's play safe and finish the game 1-0'."But I think the character and the personality of the team was to trying to find the second and the third. I think that is why we fully deserved the result and the players all the credit." After Kane headed in a Kieran Trippier corner for the opener, Lucas struck twice, including a fine solo effort for the sealer in the 84th minute.Lucas, who arrived at Tottenham from Paris Saint-Germain in January, now has three goals this season and Pochettino praised the attacker. "He is going to receive much praise now. But for me I want to say [well done] to our chief scout Steve Hitchen and all the people that worked with him, because they advised to sign him," he said. "When the people sometimes criticise because always it is tough now, I think I need to say well done, because today's performance from Lucas Moura, for the people that advised and feel responsible too, they need to be praised too. That is why I want to congratulate them. "There are always people who are working behind the scenes and it was a fantastic job because today I think Lucas deserves a lot of credit."</blockquote>
