Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, has reiterated how hard it will be to win the Premier League title after his side briefly went top of the table with a 1-0 win at West Brom.
Harry Kane’s 150th Premier League goal two minutes from the end sent Spurs to the summit for the first time since August 2014, even though they are likely to get displaced when later games between Leicester and Wolves and Manchester City and Liverpool take place.
Spurs are now unbeaten since the opening day of the season and, with four successive away wins, appear to be contenders for the title.
Mourinho however is not being kidded about how hard it will be to win his fourth Premier League crown.
“When a team is champion or plays for the title, there is always a direct relation to your direct opponents,” he said after edging a tight game at the Hawthorns.
“I would say that this team could be champions in many European countries.
“The Premier League is the most difficult one to be, because in the Premier League you can do a good season, can have lots of points, but in the end: Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Man United, Leicester, Arsenal. So you can have a good season and not be champion.”
