Spurs: 10 Incredible Stats You Won't Believe From The AVB Era

7. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Spurs played 26 games under AVB in all competitions this season and won 17, which is just under two-thirds of them (65.4%) with four draws and five losses. How that breaks down home and away will be coming up shortly. Again to illustrate how well Hotspur have done results-wise, they recorded as many defeats as reigning Premier League champions Manchester United and Manchester City have this term so far. Still not impressed? Villas-Boas presided over fewer losses than current top dogs Arsenal and Chelsea (both 6 as of 18 December 2013), coached by his mentor Jose Mourinho. Just football fans from Merseyside can scoff at this stat. Liverpool and Everton are the only two teams in the English top flight that have tasted defeat on fewer occasions than Tottenham. There aren't very many sides in Europe that can boast losing has been so rare either. All signs points to the manner of some of those defeats €“ 3-0 at home to West Ham, 6-0 up at Manchester City and 5-0 against Liverpool €“ for AVB's sacking then. It seems Levy was not prepared to take the occasional rough with the usual smooth. Click next below for more incredible stats about Villas-Boas...
