Jermain Defoe<\/a> revealed his pride at scoring his 100th Premier League and 100th Tottenham<\/a> goal on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Defoe’s strike from 25 yards was also Tottenham’s 1000th goal in the Premier League, and the England striker was quick to pay tribute to both the fans and his team-mates for the support they have shown him.<\/p>\n

“It means a lot to score 100 goals, especially at a club like Spurs,” said Defoe.<\/p>\n

“From day one, the fans have been fantastic to me and the lads, they’ve always just said ‘keep going’. I knew it was coming and when it went in, it was a great relief.<\/p>\n

“It was one of those moments where you think, ‘Wow, it’s happened’. It was such a proud moment.<\/p>\n

“Before the game, Azza Aaron Lennon said to me, ‘You’re on 99, see if you can do it today’, and when you’ve got people around you like that, it’s fantastic.”<\/p>\n

Although it was a special moment for Defoe, he also noted his disappointment at not picking up three points in their 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n

“It was disappointing not to get three points because every game is like a cup final at the moment,” he said. “We need the points.<\/p>\n

“Last season it was tight and we managed to do it. We’ve got important games coming up and we’ll see what happens.” <\/p>\n
