TBR’s View – City win underlines Spurs credentials

There is a long way to go in 2020/21, but things are looking very good for Spurs.

In Heung-min Son and Kane the team have a couple of superstars, and the supporting cast is packed with quality.

And then there is the manager Mourinho, and one gets the feeling that he has fire in his belly.

He’s had a year with the team now, and they are certainly not to be bet against.
