Tottenham topped its Champions League group in the end, and it’s in fine standing in the Premier League. But do Spurs have another gear?
In one sense, it was just another Tottenham performance. It played poorly in the first half, improved in the second and ended up with the result it needed. It may not have been convincing at the Vélodrome vs. Marseille on Tuesday, but a come-from-behind, 2–1 win at the death took it through to the last 16 of the Champions League as a group winner. And in a season that keeps threatening to fall apart, that is no meager achievement.
