A slice of history wrapped in a layer of regret. It is one thing to notch a club record and evidently quite another to embrace a draw that should have been a win.
For that reason, Tottenham trudged away with bowed heads from this result, which held numerical significance for Antonio Conte but resonated like a missed opportunity.
First to the milestone, though. This was Conte's seventh league engagement at Spurs and so far he is yet to be defeated. No manager in the club's history has gone beyond six without loss, so well done, have a dollop of ketchup.
