Tottenham have made a habit of snatching late away victories in recent weeks and Christian Eriksen hailed the mentality of his teammates after they did so once again against Swansea.
The Danish playmaker decided Spurs' trip to Hull three weeks ago and he repeated the feat with an 89th-minute strike by driving low inside Gerhard Tremmel's near post to net a 2-1 victory at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.
"I think we're a team that does not settle for a point, I think the players were (thinking) that we should go for a win,'' Eriksen, who also scored a last-gasp winner at Hull last month, said. "In the end we pressed a bit more but of course they had chances in the second half.''
The victory moves Tottenham up to seventh in the Premier League standings and Kane felt referee Robert Madley was wrong to wave away his first-half penalty claims after he appeared to be fouled in the box.
"I think it could have been (a penalty),'' he said. "The ref said he thought it was accidental but obviously sometimes players don't mean to foul you, it just happens.
"From my point of view, I thought it was but these things happen in games and you've just got to move on and fortunately it didn't matter in the end.''
Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham's fighting spirit evident in their backs-to-the-wall win is proof that Spurs players are buying into his philosophy.
"The character is very important, to show and fight in every action,'' he said. "We are playing the right way and when you arrive in a different club with different players you always need time to try and put your philosophy on the squad.
"I am happy with the players, we are showing the character we want and we got the reaction we want. We have a lot of good players and young talent and players like Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane are very important to us.''
Pochettino felt Spurs were good value for the three points which takes them above their opponents in the table.
"In football you need to score and we deserved to win because we scored. In the last few games we deserve more and didn't score,'' he said. "We deserved more in the first half but then we conceded a goal and Swansea pushed us.
"We defended deep and maybe Swansea played better in this period, but in the last 10 minutes we were always alive.''
