If you were to pick the match which was gave us the first real glimpse of what a Spurs team can do under Pochettino’s management, this was it. Harry Kane was stunning as a lone forward while Nabil Bentaleb put in a brilliant midfield performance. If it wasn’t for a Federico Fazio error the scoreline would have looked even better in the New Years Day fixture. The Spurs stars showed fight, vigour, and oozed class.
Having struggled at the start of the 2015/16 season, Spurs sent a message to the Premier League in late September as they destroyed the Citizens at White Hart Lane.
