Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur beat Cardiff City 3-0 on New Year’s Day.
Gary Lineker has stated on Twitter that ‘in reality, it’s quite something’ that Tottenham Hotspur are able to be ‘on the heels’ of their Premier League rivals despite the ‘vast difference’ in spending.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side moved up to second in the Premier League table on New Year’s Day after their comfortable 3-0 win over Cardiff City.
The London club are currently one point ahead of third-placed Manchester City and six points behind leaders Liverpool, with the duo set to meet at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday.
Following Spurs’ win in Cardiff, Lineker took to his personal Twitter account to eulogise over his former club and the manner they are able to compete with their rivals despite not possessing the same spending power.
Over the summer, Tottenham failed to sign a single player during the transfer window, with the likes of City and Liverpool adding to their squad.
Despite the lack of spending, Pochettino has still been able to compete with their Premier League rivals as they are still outsiders for the title.
Added with that, they are also in the semi-final’s of the Carabao Cup, with their two-legged clash against Chelsea set to start next Tuesday.
But before then, the north London outfit must travel to Merseyside on Friday night to take on League Two side Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup.
