After a dramatic defeat to Chelsea, Dave Portnoy expressed his support for Tottenham Hotspur. The team has been trailing at the top of the points table at the start. Soon after the Chelsea match on November 6, they stand second. The nine-man Spurs started the match decently, but soon after Nicolas Jackson’s goal, put them in the backseat.

Continuing their fabulous form, the first score came in for the Spurs in the sixth minute. A deflected shot off the Chelsea defender Levi Colwill ended in the nets. The key left-back Destiny Udogie’s sent-off was a disappointment for the team. He got a second yellow card for a faulty tackle against Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling. However, support poured in for the Spurs from one of the best possible sources.
