Timei had been out injured for 11 weeks. Time i run perfectly, so to score seven goals in the last two games or so, could not have imagined to do that. To finish on 29 in 30 games im very pleased with. So heres confirmation of those results and the other matches today where all 20 teams were in action. Confirmation of that huge win for spurs.
