That performance was brilliant; it was a performance without fear, characterised by bravery that was underpinned with a hunger to impose ourselves on the opponent.
That intensity & desire was very much lacking in the last game at home, as we looked tepid & afraid. We didn't press them all over the field, we weren't ready to fight. That has to change next season if we want the big titles because no-one will roll over & hand you a trophy; they have to be taken.
It was also a performance without Harry Kane.
Quite why we've become so insistent on starting him when not fit, when we can play like that without him, and with even more attacking options now, I don't really know.

Unless you're Leicester, in which case the last 10 teams they played bent over for them and outwardly admitted they wanted them to win the title.
