After their 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Manchester
City, the England international is pleased with the spirit that he and his
team-mates showed against the reigning champions.
Kyle Walker feels that Tottenham proved a point by
responding to their humbling at Manchester City with a 2-2 draw against
Manchester United.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas came under pressure after his
side slumped to an embarrassing 6-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium in their last
league game, capping off a month in which Spurs failed to register a Premier
League goal.
Sunday's draw, however, saw Walker and Sandro find the target
against the champions and, though Wayne Rooney twice equalised, the right-back
was encouraged by the Londoners' display.
"We needed to show the fans something and prove to
ourselves we're a top team. We've stayed strong this week," Walker told BT
Sport.
"The results haven't been
great but we've stayed strong as a team. The spirit in the changing room is
first-class."
Walker is confident that Tottenham, who remain ninth as a
result of Sunday's draw, can finish in the top four.
"We've brought a lot of players in and it might take
a bit of time. The players we have got are top-class international players so
we'll be up there. I guarantee it," he added.
Villas-Boas was invited to send a message to any
frustrated Tottenham fans but declined, instead expressing satisfaction with
his team's response to the City defeat.
"To respond in this fashion against a team that has
just put five past the second team in Germany [Bayer Leverkusen] was good for
us," said the Spurs boss.
"We are extremely happy with the performance, not so
much with the result. I think we probably deserved to win the game."
