Spurs 'have more chance than they had last week'

The wisdom of crowds is sometimes overlooked - and it was again on Saturday in a crucial moment during the Tottenham v Brighton game.

Up 2-1 in the 95th minute, the ball fell to Tottenham's Kevin Danso in his own box. The entire crowd had its own idea, urging him to launch it into row Z, but you can't score from the stands.

In some situations, playing the ball out from the back should be secondary to doing anything that is necessary for a win: forget the polish and get the points.

Danso dithered, Jan Paul van Hecke nipped in, and seconds later two crucial points evaporated on the altar of progressive ideology.

For all the class shown by Xavi Simons and for Roberto de Zerbi finally getting a bit more fight from his charges, their entire week's work was undone in a moment.

It was still vile to hear Danso received racist abuse online afterwards, his error was no excuse for that.

After a vicious deflection last week at Sunderland and being moments away from three deserved points against Brighton at the weekend, their fated season seems even more likely.

At least there was spirit and fight on show this time. So, even though they only got a point, in my eyes they have more chance than they had last week.
