Spurs finally ended their winless, Wembley run with a tight victory over Bournemouth. Christian Eriksen scored the only goal.

The next game was also at Wembley, and what followed was one of the best performances of the season. Kane scored twice, whilst Dele Alli and Son Heung Min were also on target against Liverpool. The performance was a real signal of intent from Pochettino’s young side. The month ended on a sour note:

The 100% winning record on the road was ended by Manchester United. The hosts defeated them at Old Trafford, with Martial’s late winner.

November was an inconsistent month to say the very least. It began with the only win of the month for Tottenham. A Son Heung Min effort was the only goal at Wembley against Crystal Palace.

The next match was a desperately disappointing North London derby at the Emirates, which ended in a 2-0 defeat. The poor results continued, and a draw at home to West Brom and defeat at Leicester followed for Spurs. Harry Kane was the brightest spark, with goals in both of the games.
