"It is not a bad result," Fergie said after the 0-0 draw at Wite Hart Lane.
"We dominated the game for the most part and their goalkeeper has made two fantastic saves near the end.
"We just needed that bit of luck or a break close to goal but we didn't get it.
"But you have to admire the intensity of our game.
"Tottenham have been on a high since Harry Redknapp came.
"There is a bit of life about the club now. You expect to see them higher up the league and I am sure they will be.
"Overall, I am satisfied with the performance.
"I made the point last week that we needed to start taking our chances, although we did not create that many today."
