Tottenham’s Ben Davies ready to ‘build momentum’ at Wembley against old club Swansea City

Ben Davies hopes Tottenham’s landmark win against Borussia Dortmund will end talk of a Wembley hoodoo ahead of the visit of his former club Swansea.

Wednesday’s 3-1 win in the Champions League was just Tottenham’s second victory in 12 matches at the national stadium and Davies said: “We hope it might lift the talk about the struggles we’ve had at Wembley off our backs, but we’ve always been confident playing there.

“It’s about building momentum and getting on that winning run. That’s two big games we’ve won now and we’ve got to keep it going.”

Davies has emerged from the shadow of Danny Rose this season, and only two players in the Premier League have created more chances than the Welshman so far.

“It comes with the position the manager likes us to play in,” he said. “He likes us to get up and down and try to get on the end of the balls coming in from the other way. I’m getting in those positions.”

Davies, who joined Spurs from Swansea, added: “I obviously spent an important part of my life at that club. It’s a game I always look forward to.”
