5. Jurgen Klinsmann Is Just As Good Second Time Around

Jurgen Klinsmann scored his third goal since his return to Spurs and was in great form, proving that he's still as good second time around - at the age of 33. The German was voted England's Player of the Year in his first stint at the White Hart Lane club between 1994 and 1995, scoring 21 times - including a header against Sheffield Wednesday on his debut, which was promptly followed by that diving celebration. On this kind of form, and if he continues to show the same kind of understanding with Chris Armstrong that he did in this game, Spurs have bagged themselves a great asset.
