February only had three league games for Spurs, and this included a tricky trip to Anfield and the second North London derby of the season. The Liverpool match was a pulsating one to watch, with drama until the end. This was the match of the season.

Salah gave the Reds an early lead, but Victor Wanyama scored one of the best goals in recent memory with a shocking volley which flew like a missile beyond Karius. Late drama followed:  a missed Kane penalty was followed by an apparent Salah winner. But, Kane stepped up and scored his second penalty to get Spurs a point.

Harry Kane also continued his fantastic form over the Gunners, as his expert header gave Spurs the win in Arsene Wenger’s final derby. Spurs ended the month with more drama, as a Kane header shocked Selhurst Park to get Spurs a late win.

Spurs endured a 100% winning run in the month of March, albeit with only two games. The first saw Huddersfield travel to Wembley, and Son netted a brace to give Spurs the points.

The next game was a trip to Bournemouth, and the club responded from early setbacks to get the job done. Kane went off injured and the hosts took the lead through Stanislas. Although,  goals from Alli, Aurier and another brace from Son were enough.  The win was the fourth in four games.
