We still don't really understand Spurs, but there aren't many teams who can produce 30-minute bursts from nowhere like they can. If they ever get round to sorting out the other 60 they'll be quite a side...
Spurs absolutely thumped Crystal Palace 4-0. So that must mean Spurs are good, right? Erm… dunno. Maybe? Maybe not?Crystal Palace v Tottenham always promised to be a fascinating game. They are perhaps the two strangest teams in the Premier League.
. So that’s what we got. Spurs were terrible in the first half – albeit after a brief and seemingly deceptive bright convention-defying opening 15 minutes – and Palace could easily have been ahead by half-time. Instead it was goalless as Spurs extended their record to one first-half goal in now 11 games. In the second half, Spurs – as they so bafflingly and inexplicably often do – came to life.
The second goal was just peak Kane. The sort of goal that looks good but unremarkable at first glance and only on repeat viewings does its mastery truly reveal itself. It’s the type of goal few players can score but that Kane does so often as to make it look routine. First, he’s involved in the build-up, which is very on-brand. But when he receives the ball inside the penalty area the speed of thought and execution are devilish.
