Micky van de Ven says it's too early to call Tottenham title contenders despite moving up to second in the Premier League after beating Liverpool

Micky van de Ven says Ange Postecoglou's side are not afraid of anyone but believes it is too early to call Tottenham title contenders.

Hope has returned to north London at the end of what had been a largely difficult year, with Spurs' struggles in the second half of last season compounded by homegrown star Harry Kane's exit.

Summer appointment Postecoglou has brought excitement back to Tottenham, who moved up to second in the Premier League with Saturday's last-gasp, incident-packed 2-1 win against nine-man Liverpool.

The bookmakers' odds on Spurs winning the title continue to shorten and victory at Luton next weekend will see them, temporarily at least, go top, but defender Van de Ven is just enjoying the moment.
