TOTTENHAM 4-1 WEST HAM - NEIL ASHTON AT WHITE HART LANE: When Tottenham play like this they make you want to believe they can break the spell in English football and finish in the top four. At times Maurico Pochettino's team were that good, staying true to the traditions and culture of this club with a stylish performance at White Hart Lane. It is all coming together.

Barcelona humiliation puts Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez on the brink at Bernabeu

After this historic 4-0 reverse at home to Barcelona on Saturday, the 55-year-old looks to be on borrowed time at the Bernabeu. The club were briefing on Sunday that his position is safe for now but after such a humbling there seems little chance he will stay beyond the summer. And with Cristiano Ronaldo openly courted by Louis van Gaal, he may not be the only one to walk away in 2016.
