The Portuguese was speaking to the assembled press after his side defeated Fulham 3-0 away from home where Jermain Defoe netted a brace with Sandro also on target.
Both Michael Dawson and Bale had to be replaced, with the Welshmen set to be sidelined for up to two weeks after suffering a hamstring injury.
With Arsenal and West Brom also losing, Spurs jumped to fourth place, this after wins over West Ham and Liverpool in their previous two outings.
AVB told Sky Sports: "We have had quite a jump. It was an important run of results, particularly in a week where there is a fixture in the middle.
"We have played well against the top teams and not got the results we have wanted, but now this run puts us back on track with where we want to be.
"Next week we have Everton away, one of the most difficult trips in the Premier League, and they have just come off the back of another great result against Manchester City. We know we have to continue with this form, but it's pleasant to see the boys at this level and having such a good week."
He added: "It's good to have kept a clean sheet and good to see Aaron Lennon putting in a level of display which was amazing too."
On the injuries to Dawson and Bale, he concluded: "Both Bale and Dawson have suffered hamstring muscle injuries.
"One looks more serious than the other although both are controllable.
"With muscle injuries it's very difficult but it might keep Bale out for one to weeks. Dawson a little bit less."
