The View From The Lane: The Athletic FC's Spurs show

The Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare and Jack Pitt-Brooke join Danny Kelly to review the final game of the Chelsea trilogy as Spurs lost again to their London rivals.

Jack predicts a number of possible incomings in the final week of the transfer window, and Charlie has the latest on the players the club hope to move on.

And they discuss the lack of competition at the top of the Premier League as Spurs find themselves some distance behind the league's best three teams.
