Former Celtic striker-turned Sky Sports pundit Alan McInally has predicted that Tottenham Hotspur will go unbeaten for the rest of the season.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have won their last five Premier League games, the most recent of which was sealed in dramatic fashion.
The team showed determination and desire to come from a goal down to win 3-1 in Wednesday night’s match against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
Spurs were staring at a defeat with two minutes of normal time on the clock, but a late equaliser from Dele Alli inspired injury-time goals from Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen.
The result means that Tottenham are the closest challengers to league leaders Chelsea, but the seven-point gap may be too big to close down with eight games left to play.
McInally believes that the trophy is heading to Stamford Bridge, but is confident that Spurs will finish the season unbeaten.
The Scotsman told Sky Sports:
“It wouldn’t surprise me if they go undefeated all the way to the end of the season. Spurs have had a great season – they’re just going to miss out again I think on that top one.
“I do think they’ll be the biggest rivals for Chelsea, but the gap at the moment is too big. They’re an absolute banker to finish top four anyway.”
In their run-in they face just two clubs vying for a Champions League place – Arsenal and Manchester United.
