Former Premier League midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast about Ipswich's first Premier League win of the season at Tottenham:

"It's more about Ipswich than it is about Spurs. I thought it was probably their performance of the season.

"And it's nice to see Szmodics and Delap get the goals - two players who have been great for Ipswich so far this season.

"It was a well-deserved win and I hope it can be the momentum shift they need for the rest of the season, because this type of win against a Tottenham side that has been inconsistent as always, but still with the run of results they've had, this really can shift Ipswich to really believe that they can get more wins.

"It's just that first win you need to get confidence in the dressing room and kick on."

Ex-Brighton striker Glenn Murray added: "It's probably the one bus journey you wish would have been a little bit longer.

"I've been in that position many times. Stepping up from the Championship into the Premier League - you can get beaten three, four or five times [in a row] and it's difficult to comprehend that after you've had a season of constantly winning. It's a complete mentality shift.

"One lad I think has been an outstanding signing and has got a huge future is Delap. I love him."
