#4 -Tottenham challenging for silverware, again
Trending
Lost in the furore of Leicester’s title win was Tottenham Hotspur’s excellent campaign. They may have fallen below Arsenal, again, but this season they set out to prove they weren’t one-hit wonders.
Some thought they would be the unlucky ones again, looking from the outside in on a race to the top four. Instead, manager Mauricio Pochettino built on the foundation they established last season and have continued to fight not only for European football but for the Premier League title.
They ended Chelsea’s winning run in January, had their own nine-game unbeaten stint after losing to Manchester United and they’ve been able to show their big game chops again this season. Nabbing four points off Manchester City and a draw at the Emirates have been crucial to their season.
The worries of another lengthy European campaign affecting them were swept aside, even though they went out of both competitions early, and the depth they have shown has been a real eye opener yet again.
No longer will people giggle at the mention of Spurs, the comedy act they had been for so many years. Their Argentine boss brought them a taste of the high life last season and by the looks of things, the bright lights at White Hart Lane aren’t finished drinking it in.
