Too late to do the job
Only this wretched season could throw up a final match that showcased Spurs eventually doing the job they needed to in a difficult atmosphere and yet it ended up meaning absolutely nothing.
It unfortunately was just reward for all of the times this team has crumbled in the face of any kind of pressure this season and those days and nights came back to haunt them as Aston Villa's win against Brighton ensured Tottenham Hotspur will be without European football next season for the first time in 14 years.
