7 Truths: Tottenham playing the best football in the league, England have no good goalkeepers

Seven Premier League wins on the bounce. Tottenham thrashed Bournemouth to continue their stunning run and pile the pressure back on leaders Chelsea, but it was the manner of the win which was so striking. Mauricio Pochettino's men roared into a commanding first-half lead and cruised through the second having thoroughly dismantled their opponents.

Arguably Spurs are currently playing the best football in the Premier League and, with Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min all in such electric form, there appear to be no teams able to cope with Pochettino's side. With 68 goals on the board, Tottenham have scored the joint-most along with Liverpool and seem to only be hitting new heights with their current run of form.

Surely Harry Kane doesn't still have any doubters. The Tottenham forward scored his 25th goal of the season as his side thumped Bournemouth and, in so doing, joined an elite group of forwards to net 20 Premier League goals in three consecutive campaigns, emulating Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

To make Kane's achievement all the more impressive, he was starting for the first time since sustaining an ankle injury in March and has not been afforded a clear run of games in which to reach the landmark. Indeed, Kane's 69 goals in 110 Premier League games see him emulate Luis Suarez. The Spurs and England forward can surely extend his run of seasons with 20 Premier League goals, fitness permitting, and continue to confound any critics he still has.

Romelu Lukaku is what you call a goalscoring machine. His statistics are now getting to ridiculous levels for a team with little chance of making the Champions League, a tournament befitting a predator of his nature. He became the first player to score in eight consecutive PL home matches of his club since Wayne Rooney did it for Manchester United from December 2009.

He has now scored in all nine matches at Goodison Park in all competitions in 2017 (total 14 goals) and with Diego Costa struggling convert despite the excellent service he receives, Lukaku looks top of Antonio Conte and Roman Abramovic’s list to return to his old club.

Real Madrid have a wealth of riches - so much so, a player of Isco's calibre does not get the chance to start every game for Zinedine Zidane's side. When he does play, however, he is almost always superb and his performance in the crucial and dramatic 3-2 win over Sporting Gijon was just stunning.

He grabbed the equaliser at a vital stage in the game with a sumptuous goal which was so good we ended up breaking it down in a special article in our Le Buzz section. After those heroics, he later sealed all three points for the visitors in stoppage-time to keep Zidane's side's title pursuit on track. It was an outrageously good performance and every top team in Europe would love to have Isco in their ranks right now.

Every year three teams are relegated from the Premier League. One will probably be good enough to come straight back up whilst the other two will usually take a few seasons to get back or settle into battling in the second tier. Every so often though you get a team who are so bad, so poorly organised and just such a general shambles that you worry they could suffer the ignominy of a double-relegation. Southampton did it, as did Wolves, and Sunderland really could join them.

This team is awful; made up of players who don't want to be there or don't deserve to be there. David Moyes is devoid of ideas on how to change things and the fans have visibly turned on him. Generally in football loyalty is advocated but in this scenario Sunderland need a dramatic shake-up otherwise who knows what could happen.

Without Wes Morgan, Leicester’s defence was made to look ordinary by Crystal Palace and needed to be bailed out by Kasper Schmeichel on multiple occasions. His replacement, Yohan Benalouane, was bullied by Christian Benteke and while he won’t face that kind of striker against Atletico Madrid, it was an ominous performance and now he too could now be an injury doubt after being taken off 15 minutes from time.

If Morgan can play it will be a huge psychological boost for the Foxes, especially given the importance of stopping Atelti from scoring an away goal. If he can't, you really worry for them.

It was another grave day for England’s goalkeepers. Joe Hart dropped another clanger for Torino, Fraser Forster forgot to save Vincent Kompany’s header and Tom Heaton leaked three goals at Everton. Chuck in Jack Butland, back on the bench after 13 months out, and Jordan Pickford, on course to be relegated with Sunderland, and it’s clear: England haven’t got anything resembling a great goalkeeper.

The latter two will improve (hopefully), but could either be trusted in the 2018 World Cup with the added pressure of the England number one jersey?
