Also, where are all the Spurs fans?
Radio 5 Live made it sound like quite a performance today.
They were very good indeed. But you don't want to listen to someone who was at the ground, here's the Guardian report:

Good game yesterday - two pretty evenly matched teams.
Despite what the MOTD pundits say about Kane's "direct running" (such insight) - I still think he slows play up too much and makes poor choices on the ball. There were 3-4 good opportunities for him to play a simple ball and Soldado would have had a hat trick instead of just one goal to end his drought. It's easy to see why Pochettino has resisted giving him first team football until he repeatedly kicked down the door on Thursday nights.
However, that said - he injected a bit of much needed oomph into the middle of the field (typified by winning the ball back from Barry for the Soldado goal) and his work rate was really something. I guess he's a less-technical, but harder working alternative to Adebayor.Dead pleased to see Soldado score - felt awful for the guy.
Lamela was invisible again. What is he for?
I like the pairing of Mason and Eriksen in the middle - they work well, but I worry that both are quite lightweight and bigger opposition will just steamroller them...
... Speaking of which.... We are going to get merked on Wednesday.
