Tottenham are up to second in the Premier League.
While Manchester City have lost their last two Premier League matches, Tottenham Hotspur have won both and managed to score 11 goals.
Spurs have overtaken City in the league by a point, sitting second behind leaders Liverpool.
It has been a remarkable month for Spurs, after they began December with a loss to rivals Arsenal.
BBC pundit Garth Crooks has said he did not believe Tottenham stood a chance in the title race. He now says he has changed his mind.
He told BBC Sport: “I must be dreaming. It was Martin Keown who said on Final Score two weeks ago that Spurs had the sort of fixtures in the next few weeks that could see them challenging for the title.
“I didn’t believe him then but I’m beginning to change my mind now.”
Crooks picked Heung-Min Son is his Team of the Week, following his latest brace, scored in the 5-0 victory over Bournemouth at Wembley.
Tottenham may not have anticipated overtaking City so suddenly, but must not get distracted by their position in a negative way.
They must use it as motivation, and validation for their efforts, without getting complacent.
Tottenham’s next fixture is at home to Wolves, before a trip to Cardiff City on New Year’s Day.
