THE PERFECT MARRIAGE

Ange's honeymoon with a twist

- DARREN LEWIS

TOTTENHAM V SHEFFIELD UTD TODAY 3pm REF: Peter Bankes

ANGE POSTECOGLOU is not getting carried away by the honeymoon period he’s enjoying at Spurs. 

Neither, however, is the Premier League’s Manager of the Month spooked by the reminder that another Tottenham boss, Nuno Espirito Santo, received the same accolade in August 2021 – only to be sacked three months later.

The Portuguese generated nowhere near the wave of optimism that Postecoglou (inset, with Player of the Month James Maddison) has whipped up in North London.

Three wins and a draw from his first four Premier League matches mean victory against Sheffield United will hand Spurs their best start to a league campaign since 1965-66.
