da realsbet： Tottenham moved up to sixth place in the Premier League table and extended their unbeaten run to nine games with a commanding 5-1 win over newly promoted Bournemouth on Sunday.

da dobrowin： The signs are there that this young White Hart Lane contingent are starting to buy into Mauricio Pochettino’s footballing ideals, with Spurs seemingly well-placed to fight for a top-four place this season.

Although the hosts, Artur Boruc in particular, were guilty of some shambolic defending, you can only play what is put in front of you and Pochettino’s men looked slick and clinical in victory.

With important fixtures coming thick and fast in the next couple of weeks, here are three real positives from the convincing victory…

The resolve to come from behind

Despite the one-sided nature of the scoreline and the match, it could well have been all-so different.

Bournemouth came out of the blocks quickly and were in the lead after just 45 seconds, with swift attacking allowing Matt Ritchie to open the scoring and give the hosts hope.

In the past another Spurs team could and would have struggled to show the required composure to take the game by the scruff of the neck, assert dominance and get back into it.

Coming from behind, like Pochettino’s men did twice against Swansea also, shows heart and suggests that there is more fight in this Tottenham team than others that have come before it.

Harry Kane on target again

With Spurs in contention in every game they have played so far this season, the only thing preventing the North London side from picking up more points and being in the top three currently was a lack of a clinical edge in attack.

Homegrown hero Harry Kane may well have scored 31 goals last season, but a solitary strike in nine outings this term suggested that the England international was struggling to have a similar impact in 2015-16.

A hat-trick here has the potential to get the gifted forward back on track and have him confident and lethal again.

Kane has played well this season so far but lacked the end product; Spurs fans will be hoping this is the game that starts a run of goals for the English forward.

No Europa League hangover

With qualifying for the Champions League still the main aim for Tottenham, participation in the second-tier Europa League again this term is seen by many as a hindrance rather than an opportunity.

As well as stretching the players’ resolve and energy levels due to the additional fixtures, Spurs have had a poor record in recent seasons in the Premier League games directly following playing on the continent.

However, this season there appears to be less of a Europa League hangover, with seven points taken from a possible nine in the games following European action.

This is surely down to Pochettino managing this squad better, with a continuation of this record needed if a top-four finish is to be achieved.
