3 reasons why Tottenham can still catch Premier League leaders Chelsea

Front players in fine form

Since Harry Kane returned from injury in Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Arsenal back in November, he, Christian Eriksen, and Dele Alli have scored 25 goals and laid on nine assists between them in the Premier League.

That’s a staggering amount from a front three which, on their day, are almost unplayable.

England striker Kane has bagged most of the goals, 12 of the 25, yet even when he hasn’t got on the scoresheet, he’s assisted Alli’s second against Watford, as well as Son Heung-min’s equaliser against Manchester City.

The same can be said of the other two, with Eriksen scoring five and assisting five, while 20-year-old Alli has eight goals and two assists in the same period.

The beauty of these three being in form is that, even if one of them is having an off day, the other two are playing well enough to get the goals necessary to win games – Alli wasn’t great against Middlesbrough on Saturday, and Eriksen wasn’t at his best either, yet Kane dispatched the winning penalty.

It’s a front three that will continue to cause defences problems for the rest of the season, and there’s no doubt that they possess the goals and creativity to help Spurs get near to Chelsea.
