What a difference 12 months makes at Tottenham Hotspur. This time last year, shambolic scenes marked the return of crowds to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the final home game of the season after Spurs lost 2-1 to Aston Villa with a meek performance. The annual 'lap of honour' was cancelled at the last minute with the fans told to leave the ground over the stadium sound system.
Only some didn't. Instead they booed and some chanted 'Levy Out' and eventually the Tottenham players were awkwardly shoved back out on to the pitch in their tracksuits in front of the remaining supporters, in turn angering those who had left the stadium as told and missed their reappearance. Add into that what seemed to be a farewell walk around the stadium by Harry Kane and you can just about sum up the wretched mood at the club and where it was heading.
Fast forward a year and a full Tottenham Hotspur Stadium cheered their players lap of honour with full voices on Sunday afternoon after they had just put themselves into fourth place with one match to go.
