Unbeaten Spurs now five points clear

-  MIKE WALTERS

EVERYONE will put the clocks back one hour tonight except Tottenham, who will rewind about 63 years.

Joel Ward's freak own goal and skipper Heung-min Son sent Spurs five points clear at the Premier League summit and the last time they enjoyed such a gap at the top was in 1960-61, the year they won the Double.

To dare is to dream and at some point we need to stop writing off Tottenham as title contenders.

For 45 minutes at Selhurst Park, Ange Postecoglou's front runners were anonymous as an attacking force.

But the most efficient sides find a way to grind out a win when not at their best.

And as Postecoglou absconded into the south London night with the three points, he was left to marvel at the sight of Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool trailing behind him.
