Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood says he was surprised by how well midfielder Paulinho played in his side's 3-0 win over Stoke City.

The Brazilian was instrumental in the victory which saw Roberto Soldado, Mousa Dembele and Aaron Lennon all getting on the scoresheet.

Sherwood has claimed seven out of a possible nine points available since being handed the manager's job at White Hart Lane.
