The question during the game was asked are Tottenham involved in a title race
Not yet. We're a fair bit behind and have been inconsistent in the big games. We have to keep up a winning run including getting the better of United, see if Liverpool and City can drop some unexpected points and take it from there. But the most important thing is to keep focussed, keep winning our games without making any assumptions about others, and see where it gets us by the end.

Great result, good enough performance. Job done, back up to third and fucked those other mugs back down below us.

That was impressive in a lot of ways. Leicester are not crap and we were away, but we defended them to death and they scarcely got a sniff.

Dele is the obvious MotM, by more then a whisker from Son, but really our defence deserves a collective MotM award, because of the organised, collected and resolute way they handled the Leicester break. The switching between a back 3 and a back 4 worked seamlessly and there were scarcely any frantic moments. Plus we got to give Kane & Eriksen a relaxing evening run-out with minimal pressure.

We've squeaked a lot of results this season, home and away,based on moments of individual or collective quality, but this was just convincing all-round. Not a brilliant match, but a thoroughly professional team effort in a difficult situation - especially given today's earlier results.

Dele has stated as much himself but he really does seem to be energised and more focused lately..

Great performance...we look so much better with Toby and Verts at the back....dare I say it...if Toby had come on Vs Arsenal at half time we may have won that too. As much as I am hopeful for Foyth's future we look very weak and nervy with him at the back...the sooner Davinson is fit the better!

Also...Dele was fantastic tonight.

I thought Eriksen was awful when he came on...miles off the pace.

Pleased KWP got a few minutes.

Bereft. Bemused. Bjork.

One of the better defensive performances of the season for us. For 80-odd minutes anyway.
