Jose Mourinho continues to play down his Tottenham Hotspur side as a title contender, despite them being just two points off the summit of the table and League leaders Everton after securing a hard-fought win at Burnley Monday Night. 
Spurs fans could be forgiven for thinking otherwise after the scratchy 1-0 victory at Turf Moor which has now propelled them from 12th to fifth on the log. Spurs are also the league top goalscorers with 16 goals from 6 outings.
Jose Mourinho’s Spurs who had been on a steady rise over the last 8 years, finishing second on the table once and 3rd thrice, and also featured in the Champions League final a couple of seasons ago. Spurs last won a trophy in 2008, the League Cup and last won a league title in 1961.
Though Jose Mourinho in his interview gave a lot of credit to Mauricio Pochettino for the work he did at Tottenham saying the work he had done at the club has given him a fantastic foundation to build on. he also said, “I will never consider ourselves title contenders,” Jose Mourinho said.
Harry Kane agreed in as much as it is too early to talk about a title challenge in a season that has offered up several surprising results.
Spurs have provided a couple of them hammering Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford and then letting slip a 3-0 lead over West Ham to be held 3-3.
However, the 27-year-old England striker is optimistic about the future with the present squad.
“We know with the team we have got and the players we have got we can do something special,” he told the BBC.
“It’s still early on (to talk about a title challenge).
“We need to take each game as it comes.
“I know it’s a cliche but we still have a lot to learn and build on but I think nights like this will give us a lot of confidence.
“These are the games you need three points if you are going to be up there at the end of the season.”
