The neighbours popped round for tea yesterday afternoon and were sent home with their tails firmly between their legs. There is nothing quite like the silence of the away end to really brighten up a Sunday.
Spurs’s manager Thomas Frank arrived with a back five which suggests he intended to park a double decker bus on the penalty spot. It did not work.
Leandro Trossard decided to open the scoring because he enjoys that sort of thing but the afternoon truly belonged to Eberechi Eze.
There is a delicious irony in a man who very nearly joined Tottenham in the summer scoring a hat trick against them. He danced past two defenders for the first and the silence from the away end was deafening.
Frank tried to fix his mistake by bringing on Xavi Simons but Eze scored again thirty five seconds after the restart just to make a point.
Richarlison scored a lob over Raya which was arguably quite good but nobody in red really minded by then.
Eze finished his hat trick later on to ensure the humiliation was complete.
We are six points clear of Chelsea. We have not won the league since 2004. I am trying very hard not to get carried away but days like this make it difficult. I am trying not to look at the table but it is becoming very difficult to look anywhere else.
The neighbours remain in our shadow. North London is red.
Onwards and upwards, my friends
