Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris says his side are treating each of their eight remaining Premier League games like a final heading into the season's concluding stretch.
Established
Lloris has established himself as Villas-Boas' first-choice keeper after a difficult start to life in North London when he found himself playing second fiddle to veteran shot-stopper Brad Friedel after joining Spurs from Lyon last summer.
The 26-year-old Frenchman added of that period: "You can't anticipate all the situations in football but you have to adapt.
"With time, things happen naturally - with work and with performance. Now it's in the past. Simple.
"When you arrive in England you have to prove who you are. That's not a problem - it's a good thing because it's very important to win people's respect."
