Tottenham are getting close to becoming title contenders

The work that Mauricio Pochettino is doing at Tottenham doesn’t get the credit that it deserves. He has built a young, hungry and talented team with a relatively low net spend, which continues to improve on a monthly basis. Their victory over Chelsea was their best performance of the season, but they are very consistent and their change to a 3-4-2-1 formation has had a remarkable impact. They were the much better side this afternoon and they should have won by a bigger margin.

They started with a team that was nearly at full strength, with Danny Rose being the only notable absentee and they played Everton off the park until the 80^th minute. Pochettino will be angry that they let the visitors back into the game, but the overall performance was strong. This season has come a little too soon for them to challenge for the title, as the gap between them and Chelsea has grown too big. However, if they make a couple of quality additions in the summer, they should be competing to win the Premier League next season.
