Analyzing the performances of the top 6 teams in the Premier League

#2 Tottenham – Runners-up

Kane has continued to bang in the goals for Spurs

2016/17 Season: Tottenham played some fine free-flowing football, scoring lots of goals. They were the top scorers in the league last season. It was quite unfortunate that despite playing some of the best football, Mauricio Pochettino’s men ended up second best.

Thanks to their dazzling front line of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Harry Kane, Tottenham racked up 86 league points, a tally that would have been enough to win the league in 8 seasons since the 1995/96 season when a 20 team league was adopted for the first time.

2017/18 Season So Far: A poor first 20 games means that Spurs’ title hopes have effectively ended. 21 points off the pace set by league leaders Manchester City, Tottenham will need to shift their attention to securing a top 4 spot. Spurs’ home form has been the reason for their early exit from the title race as they have accumulated just 20 points out of a possible 30.

A surprising downturn in the form of star man Dele Alli is also a major reason for Tottenham’s league woes. With their title challenge faltering, Spurs will have to quickly turn their attention to securing a top 4 place as they face stiff competition for the same, but with ‘Haz’ Kane returning to top form in splendid fashion by scoring 2 hat tricks to break Alan Shearer’s record for the most premier league goals in a calendar year, Spurs fans will be optimistic about their chances
