REVEALED: The ‘SPURSIEST’ side in Premier League history has thrown away over 450 points from winning positions, more than anyone else… but who takes the unwanted title and where does YOUR club place?

Tottenham are the Premier League’s ‘Spursiest’ side after throwing away more points than anyone else from a winning position, new data shows.

In an ironic twist, the club has proven to fulfill one of football’s longest-running stereotypes, with Spurs regularly mocked for their failure to win trophies despite several impressive challenges in the top and cup competitions.

Since 1992, Spurs have conceded 451 points when leading matches, two more than Everton and five more than London rivals Chelsea.

This questionable underbelly has also put them ahead of the likes of Southampton (437), Aston Villa (428), West Ham (424) and Newcastle (414).

Surprisingly, Arsenal and Liverpool are also high on the list. The former have dropped 372 points despite being ahead, while the latter have lost 365 points.

No team has surrendered more points from a winning position in the top flight than Spurs

Reigning champion Manchester City has now surrendered 289 points.

The last time Tottenham were able to add to their trophy cabinet was in 2008, when they lifted the League Cup, now the Carabao Cup, after beating Chelsea at Wembley.

In total they have won 26 trophies, including two UEFA Cups and eight FA Cups.

However, recent years have not been kind to them, with the semi-finals of multiple tournaments often proving to be a bridge too far for them.

In fact, they have crashed out of the FA Cup no less than four times in the last four, while three defeats in the League Cup final have compounded their woes.

They also missed out on the Champions League after losing to Liverpool in the 2019 final, conceding the opening goal with just two minutes on the clock.

However, Ange Postecoglou is turning the tide at the club and his team returns this year

What may provide some consolation for Spurs, however, is the fact that they are also the club to have scored the most points by losing position in the Premier League.

In similar fashion to their comeback win over Sheffield United, Spurs have taken 427 points from the deficit, while Manchester United are narrowly behind on 426.

Arsenal (392), Liverpool (390), Chelsea (357) and Everton (326) also rank high in this particular department. Holders City has now collected 250 points.

More recently, Ange Postecoglou has pushed Spurs to earn seven points this year by losing positions, with only Liverpool (nine) having turned over more games.

Brentford are the ‘Spursiest’ side this season after losing six points to winning positions. Behind them are Bournemouth, Sheffield United and West Ham (all five).

Spurs have also gained the most points by losing positions and fending off Manchester United
