com! The build-up… Considering how brilliant a season it’s been, I was a bit surprised when I realised that after beating Spurs last Sunday, it was only the second time this season that we had won in successive games in the Premier League. The only previous time we managed this feat was the back end of October, when we beat Wolves at home then went and beat Chelsea in the big smoke.

Since suffering defeat at the Stadium of Light against Fulham in late February, we’ve seen the return of some of that early-season form. That defeat meant we’d lost five of seven games but since then, we’ve seemingly gone back to what we do well, with the solid foundations of our structure combining with getting the big moments right when they come along. The five games since contain a blip in terms of the loss against Brighton on our own patch, but away performances at Bournemouth, Leeds and up the road was backed up with picking up three points last Sunday against Spurs — which ended up as a fairly convincing win, taking the chances on both sides into account.
