Tottenham’s 2016-17 Naughty or Nice list

Tottenham beat Burnley 2-1 last weekend to consolidate fifth place in the Premier League at Christmas.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side fell behind to Ashley Barnes’ strike, yet goals from the English duo of Dele Alli and Danny Rose secured an important three points for Spurs, who have Manchester United breathing down their neck in sixth.

Consequently, Pochettino’s men will go into their clash at Southampton on December 28 and then their New Year’s Day encounter with Watford hoping to usurp the Gunners and get themselves back inside the top four.

Spurs have won nine of their 17 league games this season, and were unbeaten all the way up until November 26, although lost 2-1 at league leaders Chelsea in their 13th match of the campaign.
