The Spurs sucker punch at home derailing their title hopes



For now the aspirations of the Spurs is to believe in miracles and praying for a possible twist of fate in their favor with just three matches left in this edition of Premiership. The hope of seeking a lucky bounce of fortunes in their favor is something that Manager Pochettino will be in the lookout.

After seeing all afternoon long, when the Spurs faithful at White Hart Lane seeing how their Spurs were battling with a very hardened foe that did not had anything to lose but certainly can do the ultimate of damages.

Tony Pulis and his Baggies coming with the label of underdogs and seen as a mere and easy rival to be tamed by its hosts easily. For the Lilywhites dynamic and spectacular game, they have been showing off all campaign long, they could stroll with an easy victory.

The unfortunate side for the home team having all the advantages as the home team and with its initial eleven all complete and no injuries, luck was a word absent in the locals dictionary.

After this part of London Town going into a mad frenzy by the visitors, own goal first score and a whole match dominated by the Spurs backfield by not allowing any liberties to a pushy West Brom squad attempts to score.

Still for Tottenham with a couple of beautiful plays from the midfield orchestrated nicely between Alli and Kane who saw his near goal shoot hit the post and the ball bounce outside. The second attempt came when on another well-created play from Erickson passing it to the center for Lamela and once again that infamous post that prevented another go-ahead goal for the Spurs.

There’s something on every squad that Tony Pulis manages and always plays the role of spoiler, as many remember when he was at Crystal Palace how they prevented Liverpool coronation and once again history repeated with his Albion Boys.

Seeing in Craig Dawson redeemed himself after scoring in his own goal  in the first half and later returning the favor by scoring the goal that would left the score even at one goal a apiece.
Derailing and putting to an abrupt halt in the Spurs title hopes. 

Maybe next year, as this northern part of London Town can brace itself of seeing another spectacular run for the league title with a much mature squad returning in its whole majority and honoring their motto “To Dare is to Do”.

Hope and faith are among the favorite words for the Northern Londoners after this match and three remaining that include matches next week in a solid and always disputed London Derby with archrivals the Chelsea Blues at Stamford Bridge.

The Spurs close their regular campaign with two matches left at home against Poches former squad Southampton and as a visitor at St. James to play a renewed Newcastle United. 

Considered these three matches important as well the results being positive for this squad so far presenting a very amazing campaign and with their hopes being deposited till its end, seeking a miracle at the end.

As well seeing how Leicester City having a not so easy schedule too with Manchester United  playing at Old Trafford and closing with Everton at home at King Power and at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea.

There is a possibility anything can happen for Manager Mauricio Pochettino and his Boys for now they must forget the sucker punch and focus in each one of their next compromises, as they were playing a final.
