Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has told fans how long they will have to wait before they can consider their club genuine title contenders.
The 2-0 win at the City Ground on Sunday lifted the north London club level on 10 points with Manchester City and maintained the five-point gap over Liverpool, despite the Reds’ 9-0 mauling of Bournemouth the day before. Even over the longer term, Tottenham have won more points than any other club since the beginning of March.
That run came on the back of a strong transfer window in January and a summer of heavy investment in the squad to cope with being back in the Champions League for the first time in three years. The only points Spurs have dropped in their opening four games was in a creditable 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
