‘Who came third in a two-horse race?’ the Leicester City fans crowed. The answer — if you don’t remember last season — is 'Tottenham Hotspur', minus an expletive.
It’s a bit of a laugh for them, but Spurs must be scared the scarring of last season could come back to haunt them again.
They were comfortably better than the champions at White Hart Lane on Saturday but this proved to be a fifth successive game without a win.
If Leicester have regressed from the shock outfit that took home the title last season, what can you say of Tottenham on this evidence?
