What you need to know:

  • For the fourth straight league game, Gareth Bale was left on the bench for the full 90 minutes as Mourinho instead sent on Dele Alli in search of a winner.
  • Spurs suddenly surged forward and only two outstanding saves from Guaita denied them all three points as he firstly got down low to his left to parry Kane's header.
