2016-17 was a really good season for Tottenham as their performances gave the fans quite a few reasons to be proud of their team. One of the biggest of these reasons was finishing above Arsenal who succumbed to 5th place in the table due to intense competition for the top 4.

Having been in the shadow of the Gunners for all these years, Tottenham put up a massive fight for the league title but eventually a consistent and patient Chelsea side ended up being the winners.
