Another win for Tottenham Hotspur on Monday evening has given Ange Postecoglou and his squad renewed belief that they can go on and seriously challenge for the Premier League title.
Spurs appointed the Australian to much scepticism in the summer after he led Celtic to an undisputed treble in Scotland, but there were doubts over how he would fare given that his spell in Scotland was his only tenure in Europe. But with seven wins and two draws from his opening nine league games — including a 100 per cent record at home — the north London outfit are top of the league.
It's a welcome change not only in mentality, but in style of play for Tottenham, who have switched up from their sometimes drab style of play under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte where they were more likely to soak up possession before hitting teams on the counter attack. Now bookies have revealed their figures on how punters have looked at the situation — with plenty backing the club to win an unlikely title.
As per bet365, only Newcastle, with 20.4 per cent of customers, have been backed to win the Premier League title more than Tottenham since the start of August. «The appointment of Ange Postecoglou clearly pricked the ears of fans, who began eyeing up Spurs as potential contenders,» said a bet365 spokesperson. «After last year’s eighth place finish, they have well and truly lived up to the expectations of bettors as they remain undefeated.»
