Next Tottenham boss must address issue Harry Kane pointed out during Jose Mourinho's tenure

Tottenham's inability to kill off games could prove incredibly costly to their Champions League aspirations come the end of the campaign. Minutes away from moving into third in the Premier League table despite the current issues surrounding the club, Spurs let their 1-0 lead slip with Everton restoring parity in the 90th minute courtesy of a stunning effort from Michael Keane.

The same happened in their previous Premier League match after squandering a 3-1 lead at bottom side Southampton as the hosts rescued an unlikely point following James Ward-Prowse's stoppage-time penalty. On their previous away trip they again failed to come away with maximum points after Adama Traore punished them for their wastefulness in front of goal with a late winner at Molineux.

Spurs just keep shooting themselves in the foot and the Premier League table could look a whole lot different if they had put games to bed. In the top four for the time being after their draw at Goodison Park, the Lilywhites are on 50 points just like Newcastle United and Manchester United but both of their rivals have two games in hand on them.
