It feels like there might be a lot of this between now and the end of the season. The title and relegation are effectively resolved, which means all that remains is the squabble over European qualification with nine teams in the mix for (probably) six places. The result was a strange, threequarter-pace game.
It would be unfair to say both sides were going through the motions but, equally, this wasn’t the most intense game you’ll ever see. It had seemed a phenomenon many thought impossible: a game even Angeball couldn’t make interesting. Tottenham’s defending, though, can conjure goals from anything.
