Perhaps they are not 'Spursy' any more, perhaps this Tottenham team has now got the fire from Antonio Conte’s belly.
As their manager looked ready to put the nut on Thomas Tuchel, the players celebrated as though they had just pulled off some sort of landmark result rather than scrape a fortunate draw. And maybe they had, maybe this was a match that - under previous regimes - would have been lost long before Harry Kane’s late, late, deflected equaliser.
Second best for huge swathes of this hilariously bad-tempered match (in the technical areas, that is), Spurs at least showed some spirit, some backbone, some serious fight - literally, in Conte’s case.
