Michael Dawson hopeful of Tottenham Hotspur progress

Tottenham Hotspur captain Michael Dawson has insisted that his teammates are staying positive following Thursday's draw with Panathinaikos in the Europa League.

The defender headed his side into the lead in Greece before a late goal salvaged a point for the hosts in Athens.

"We are just disappointed that we didn't keep our momentum going and gave the ball away too much," Dawson told UEFA.com.

"We are staying positive, though. We have some big games coming up and hopefully we can get back to winning ways."

Spurs' second draw in the competition has left them third in Group J.
