Norwich City manager Paul Lambert claims Tottenham Hotspur are serious contenders in the Premier League title race.

Norwich City manager Paul Lambert has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are title contenders after seeing his side beaten 2-0 by the North London club.

Despite Spurs boss Harry Redknapp playing down his side's title chances, Lambert insists that they must be considered as serious contenders.

"The bigger teams can really hurt you and Spurs are definitely up there vying for the championship," he told Sky Sports News.

"It's disappointing (to lose), but we gave it everything we had. They've got quality all over the pitch."

Spurs are currently third in the league, seven points behind both Manchester clubs with a game in hand.
