Tottenham Hotspur, the 5th-placed team in the Premier League, missed the chance to catch up with Aston Villa as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Westham in the early hours of Wednesday (3). Tottenham's style of play this season has been wide open, with many comeback victories, but at the same time, they have lost 20 points after taking the lead, making the "roller coaster" statistic the biggest stumbling block for the UEFA Europa League ticket.
Tottenham's miraculous comeback win over Luton in the last round was a good start to the match, with Bjorn Johnson scoring in 5 minutes from a Dimitrijana cross. However, the match was leveled in 19 minutes, with Gertsouma scoring from a corner kick with a backheel. Although Tottenham had 68% of the possession, their goal threat was not as good as that of Westham, and the two teams ended up with a 1-1 draw, trailing Villa by 2 points.
According to Opta, Tottenham finished the season with 22 points, second in the Premier League behind Liverpool, but lost 20 points while leading, making them the fourth team in Premier League history to reach 20 points or more in both 'points down' and 'points out', while Tottenham had to fight with Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City for the three heroes in the last eight rounds of the league, and the crisis of losing points was extremely high. The crisis is very high.
Tottenham Hotspur's leader Pusdiguero said after the game: "I think we controlled the game well for most of the time, but Westham is a very strong team, it's not easy to deal with them as they are visiting us here, and we are a little bit disappointed not to win, but I think the team is doing well, and there are many matches in the season.
