Eric Dier has revealed afternoon naps are the secret behind Tottenham's fine start to the season.

A 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday helped Spurs move on to 23 points from a possible 30 in the Premier League this term, which is their best tally after 10 top-flight matches since the 1963-64 campaign.

Centre-back Dier has started every game and explained how Antonio Conte's men have come through a demanding schedule to sit third in the Premier League and one win away from making the last-16 of the Champions League.

"There's obviously so many games until the break, it's incredible, so we need to take good care of ourselves physically, mentally and try to be ready for every game," said Dier.
