Progress. It might not be pretty, it might not be quick but Tottenham’s development this season speaks for itself - and Manchester City might just be looking over their shoulders.
After all the fantasy football points have been counted up and the headlines are hoovered up by the O.G. Ronaldo in the stands from last weekend's win over Wolves, Harry Kane and that thousandth Premier League goal, the big picture continues to underline just why confidence is growing in the white half of north London.
Three games, two wins and a draw so far. Spurs surrendered their meeting with Wolves 3-2 under Antonio Conte last season after twice leading, remember? They couldn’t take even a point off Chelsea and were stunned at home - again, despite twice leading - by Southampton in February.
