Danny Rose says that Tottenham's League Cup quarter-final victory over North London rivals Arsenal is "karma" after he felt the Gunners over-celebrated their win in the Premier League earlier in the month.

The full back said Arsenal "celebrated like they won the league” after winning the derby at the Emirates three weeks ago.
And he thinks that Tottenham's cup win was their comeuppance.
"Our only motivation this was remembering the nonsense that Arsenal posted after the game a few weeks ago," Rose said. "That was our motivation.
"Players that have only played ten games for Arsenal were getting ahead of themselves. We used that in a positive way. Karma...you know? They fully deserve what they got, Arsenal."
Rose also hinted that he expects Tottenham to finish above their local rivals in the league.
“Just remember, they won a game at the beginning of December and they’re celebrating like they won the league," he added.
“We’re over the moon we’ve put that result right. We’ll see where they are come the end of the season and we’ll see where we are.”
