Below are the pick of the stats from yesterday’s 4-3 victory over Leeds:
- Harry Kane’s equaliser was his 7th goal in his last 7 home matches in the league this season.
- Harry Kane’s goal also meant that Spurs have now scored 10 league goals from set-pieces this season (12 in all competitions), a league-high that equals their best-ever tally from a whole season (10 in 2015/16).
- Harry Kane’s goal was the first first-half goal that Spurs have scored in 8 matches in all competitions, with the last of those being Son’s second in a 3-goal blitz of Eintracht Frankfurt on October 12th in the Champions League.

- Spurs’ last first-half home goal was nearly two months ago – Eric Dier’s header against Leicester on September 17th.

- Spurs have conceded the first goal in their last 8 matches in all competitions.

- Spurs have won every game where they have scored in the last 15 minutes in the league this season, bar the 2-2 draw at Chelsea in August.
- In all competitions, Spurs have not lost in matches where they have scored in the last 15 minutes so far this season.

Wake me if someone else shows up. If I don’t respond I’m likely to be watching some beach football.
Nice day here, some early morning rain, but bright blue sky now and about 30 degrees Celsius. Saw a twerking contest on the streets last night in Gaibu. Right now I’m watching a tribe of tufted eared marmosets frolic in the trees. The world can be good at times.
If by some strange turn of events someone else actually logs on to this site: be well and relax. Life goes on even if VS expires. Maybe I’ll start trolling some Conservative Brexiteers who left because the French don’t play cricket.
Just off for a walk in our beautiful, local park.. Gensing Gardens. Trees of many colours, blue skies and we can just view the sea. Life is good.
life is good, ww.
Just imagine if Spurs conceded less goals first, and were actually in a position to go in front instead, would that result in more wins and less losses per se? Me thinks, Yes! I think we have all seen Spurs ability to play fast flowing one touch when they are inclined (and too often because they are behind) so how about setting out to play that type of football first and foremost? Because to me they are a much more interesting and potent looking team when they play on the front foot!
