Not a great outcome for Tottenham today. They aren't losing, but just aren't winning enough games and today was one that they had to have IMO. I have no idea how the Kane non-call in the second half wasn't a penalty. That was ridiculous, and if not for the foul that was an almost sure goal.
That said I am not blaming the official(s). Spurs just flat-out didn't have it today. The score could have easily been 2-1 or 3-1 West Brom, or a 2-2 draw even if that was a penalty and goal for Kane. It leaves them three points from fourth after the showing by City today (hey look, things could be worse!) I think that Liverpool wins easily tomorrow in Newcastle and we'll be tied in points and probably ahead on goal differential (unless there is some kind of historical destruction and they win by ten or something crazy)
Next weekend is a home match against Newcastle and surely we need three from that one. You have to pick up points against these bottom teams to have any hope.
