Andre Villas-Boas highlights the displays that Aaron Lennon and Gylfi Sigurdsson have put in for Tottenham Hotspur over recent weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Andre Villas-Boas has hailed Aaron Lennon and Gylfi Sigurdsson for their performances in the club's recent upturn in form.

Three victories on the bounce have seen Villas-Boas's side rise to fourth in the Premier League table with 15 matches played.

Speaking after his team's latest win - a 3-0 success at Fulham on Saturday - Villas-Boas was quick to praise his attacking duo for their contributions.

"Lennon has been incredible. Sometimes you think of him as being in the shadow of Bale, we tend to forget how much he works for the team. But he puts his heart into it every time and he is having a tremendous season," he told the London Evening Standard.

"That was excellent for Gylfi. It has been a hard time for him because at the beginning of the season he was involved a little bit more. But, like Lennon, he is another excellent professional.

"He is working hard to try to get back to a level we recognised last year with Swansea. Against Fulham, we saw him at this level."

The pair have scored two goals apiece in all competitions so far this season.
