Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readPundits Andros Townsend and Chris Sutton have assessed Tottenham Hotspur’s upward trajectory on BBC Radio 5 Live following their 2-0 statement victory against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

From the source
Tottenham Hotspur’s dominant 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge has signaled a pivotal shift in mood around N17, with former players and national broadcasters now taking note of Roberto De Zerbi’s building momentum.
Following back-to-back victories against Coventry and Chelsea, media reaction has increasingly focused on whether Spurs have officially overcome their sluggish start to the campaign. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, as highlighted by journalist Chris Cowlin on X, former Tottenham winger Andros Townsend insisted that the North London club have firmly turned a corner in their development under De Zerbi.
“I think they have turned the corner. Spurs have shown positive signs all season, even when they have been losing games. I think even in the early games you could see what he was trying to build.
