If Antonio Conte could change the very expectation of Tottenham fans and rewrite the playful banter that is for something to be 'Spursy' then maybe he can consider his time a success in north London.
That hasn't happened just yet and the first half collapse against Marseille demonstrated there's still a way to go. Tottenham were on course for the most 'Spursy' thing possible. They had been a VAR decision away from going through against Sporting Lisbon last week but instead found themselves staring down the barrel of a possible Champions League exit at Stade Velodrome.
Chancel Mbemba's goal gave the home side a well deserved lead at the break but a second-half fightback saw Conte's men progress to the knockout stages for the first time since they reached the final in 2019.
