Gary Megson believes the point earned against Tottenham at White Hart Lane has set up a cup final for Bolton against Sunderland next week.Megson's men are a point above the Premier League relegation zone and face title-chasing Chelsea on the last day of the season - meaning they need a win against Roy Keane's men.

They were staring at relegation when Aston Villa thrashed them 4-0 but they have responded with two wins and now a draw at White Hart Lane.

Megson said: "We've just played two cup finals. When we trooped off the pitch at Villa Park we were the lowest we've been for some time.

"It was a really poor performance and result and we had two away games coming up. We managed four points from them and it's a position when the Sunderland game is a cup final.

"We will have 25,000 people there, hopefully helping us get a result we need and then let's see other results. It's so complicated.

"It doesn't matter if Sunderland are safe or not, we have to perform like I know we can."

Megson admits his side were fortunate to get a point at Spurs after struggling to create chances.

They took the lead just after the break when Stelios Giannakopoulos tapped in but Steed Malbranque levelled in the 52nd minute.

Despite Birmingham and Reading drawing, Megson did not view the 1-1 as a missed opportunity.

"We have to view ourselves in isolation, not other people," he said.

"We didn't play well and were fortunate to go in at half-time all square, although Tottenham didn't have many chances despite the possession.

"To score the first goal we're pleased with but we didn't hang onto it long enough.

"It was probably not an opportunity lost, given the opposition."

Megson has highlighted team spirit as a key factor in their hopes of beating the drop.

"I've never been disappointed with spirit," he said. "Villa was our lowest ebb, the spirit was okay even if it didn't look like it from afar. We've responded in the right way, with decent performances."

In the end Megson needed goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi to be in top form to protect their point.

"Ali's been waiting for his opportunity, we know he's a decent goalkeeper," the Bolton boss said.

"He's just had a couple of clean sheets and we were unlucky with the build-up to the goal today."

Spurs head coach Juande Ramos feels his side let themselves down with their finishing.

"I think the players tried their best they could, they had some great chances and the final touch wasn't as accurate as it could have been," said the Spaniard.

"There were chances to win the game but football is like that, if we don't take our chances then you will not win."
