Jan Vertonghen believes success in the Capital One Cup this season can instil a belief in Tottenham's players that can see them go on and add further silverware in the coming years. Spurs advanced to a quarter-final tie at home to Newcastle after overcoming a valiant Brighton side 2-0 on Wednesday evening and they are now targeting a first trophy since winning the same competition in 2008. The club have also started their Europa League campaign in fine fettle but have struggled for consistent league form under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino, with last Sunday's 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle leaving them down in 11th place.
