Antonio Conte says Tottenham Hotspur will feel like winning a Champions League or Premier League title by finishing in the top four.
Spurs went within three points of fourth-placed Arsenal after beating Everton 5-0 on Monday night - after playing another game - as Harry Kane struck twice in an easy win.
Michael Keane's own goal in the 14th minute gave Spurs an advantage which they extended through Heung-Min Son and then Kane, before Sergio Reguilan scored just 41 seconds into the second half.
Kane's second, a fine volley from an angled pass from Matt Doherty, took the England captain above Thierry Henry to sixth on the Premier League's all-time scorers list with 176 career goals.
But ideas quickly turned to a Champions League football battle that continues with the tour of fifth-placed Manchester United on Saturday and Conte said: "We will try everything and in the end we will see what happens." Now we only have 12 games to play, not trophies to play. So it's right to take the responsibility, me, me, I have to be first.
"You know I don't like to talk about ambition and a place in the Champions League because I love playing to win leagues and win trophies, but in this situation it could be our Champions League, our Premier League title If we can get to fourth place.
“It is right to celebrate but at the same time we have to focus and from tomorrow we have to start thinking that Saturday will be an important game for us and I repeat, it is right to celebrate the players that they are doing great things. are.
"But at the same time I want my players to celebrate but not lose focus, not lose their goals. We have 12 games to play and they have to be finals for us.
“I repeat, now I have set this goal for my team that we have to try to be very close to the top team till the end and try to do something important. I repeat, for us to finish in the top four. For we will win the Champions League or the Premier League this season."
