Ange Postecoglou wants Tottenham's fans to «continue to dream» after a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace saw his side move five points clear at the top of the Premier League for the first time.
Tottenham's entertainers were tamed during a low-key first half in south London but James Maddison's cross-shot soon after the interval forced Joel Ward to turn into his own net before Heung-min Son to added a second and his eighth of the season.
There was late drama when Jordan Ayew set up a frantic finish with his super strike four minutes into injury-time and Matheus Franca lashed wide with virtually the last kick of the game, but Spurs came through for a victory which means boss Ange Postecoglou has secured a record 26 points out of a possible 30 from his first 10 games as a Premier League manager.
The win means Spurs are five points clear at the top of the Premier League — their biggest lead on second place in the top-flight since the final day of the 1960-61 campaign (eight points), when they last won the title.
The Spurs supporters are in dreamland and Postecoglou is happy form them to be there.
«Let them dream,» he told Sky Sports when asked what his message to the supporters was. «It's what being a football fan is all about.
»It's fair to say that this lot have suffered a fair bit so I'm certainly not going to dampen that."
