Despite the fact we only just seen to be hitting our stride in the Premier League (and some may say we're still some way off) Spurs have the best defence in the English top flight having conceded just 2 goals in 5 games, keeping 3 clean sheets.
That is even more impressive when you think those goals were conceded away at 2nd place Everton, who've scored 10 in 5 games, and against Liverpool who've bagged 11 in 5. Even the brilliant Manchester City, who sit comfortably top of the league having won every game so far and scored an awesome 15 goals in 5 games, have conceded 4 goals, double what Spurs have let in.
And then you factor in that that defensive record has been achieved whilst our star keeper, and captain, Hugo Lloris was injured in the 1st half of our 1st game and the excellent Michel Vorm was forced to deputise.
We'll see how long we can keep it up for but, for now at least, it looks as though we've put that 5 goal anomaly at the end of last season at St James's Park behind us and returned to form at the back, and that can only bode well for the rest of the season
