It perhaps speaks to the levels set and demanded by Antonio Conte that Tottenham have made their best start to a Premier League season without fully getting out of the blocks.
The coming days could provide the spark to really launch their season but Spurs have still been able to set records. A fairly routine 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday was Tottenham’s 10th home win in a row under Conte and gave Spurs 23 points from their opening 10 matches this season, their best start to a league campaign since 1963.
