Spurs must beat the big teams away to win the title, according to the Sunday Supplement panel

Tottenham will not be champions until they learn how to win at the home of one of their rivals, according to the Sunday Supplement panel.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side lost 2-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday meaning that since the Argentine took over at White Hart Lane in the summer of 2014, Tottenham have won just once in 17 Premier League away games against their ‘big-six’ rivals.

However, while Spurs have clearly made huge progress in the intervening three years – so much so that they even went into Saturday’s north London derby as favourites in many people’s eyes – they still need to overcome this particular hurdle to become a „special team“.
„It was not their best performance – Real Madrid was their best performance – but they are moving on in levels,“ said the Daily Express sports writer Matt Dunn.

„I think people forget where Tottenham were just two, three years ago before Pochettino arrived.

„They are basically where Arsenal seem to be now, which is playing in the Europa League and getting excited about the north London derby and the hope of getting some bragging rights.
„The whole thing seems to have switched. Regardless of the result, the dynamic has changed in north London.

„What they have learned this season is to win after Champions League matches. The game against Palace is a game they would have lost last season.

„What they still have not learned to do, and if they are going to win a title, that is what they have go to, is to beat the big teams [away].
„But who does beat the big teams away from home? Pochettino’s record is one win in 17, but all the big teams win at home.

„So to be that special team that can win the title, that is what they have got to crack. They are still growing together, but this is a tough one to crack and they are not there yet.

„They were missing some key players and lacked energy because [Victor] Wanyama was not playing. They have got players who can improve that side, but Arsenal played out of their skins, were the better team and deserved to win.“
Spurs’ one and only away victory against a major rival under Pochettino came at Manchester City almost two years ago and it statement-wins like that which show you have what it takes to win the title, according to John Cross.

„Going away to a team and making a big statement-victory is what convinces people that you are genuine contenders,“ said the Daily Mirror’s chief football writer.
„Pochettino and Tottenham have not won at one of their top-six rivals since they won at Man City in February 2016. And their overall record as a club is diabolical against their top-six rivals.

„It was of more significance to Tottenham to make a statement-victory that they can go and win the league.“Euro Soccer Bonus
