Get in there: Juande Ramos celebrates Robbie Keane's goal against Arsenal
After more than eight years without defeat to Spurs, Arsenal's players lost their cool towards the end of the clash, with pictures suggesting Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner confronted each other.
Having such an effect on Arsenal seemed remote when Ramos took over from Martin Jol as manager at the end of October, when the club were struggling at the wrong end of the Barclays Premier League.
"Yes, it's been a big change," said Ramos. "But without the collaboration of the footballers themselves, this would have been impossible. The huge effort the players have made to come out of a bad situation means we have been improving.
"We're involved in everything at the moment. I want to publicly recognise that they are the architects of this change."
Ramos has played his part, though, with his changes behind the scenes.
The result has been extending his remarkable record in knockout competitions; he has not lost a cup tie in two years.
"Really I'd want to win everything, whether it's a cup competition or the Premier League or the UEFA Cup," the Spaniard added. "Sometimes you don't get the luck. But, really, I don't know why I'm particularly good at knock-out competitions."
