Tottenham Hotspur's traumatic season can be summed up to perfection by the fact that even when they actually win, it still ends in defeat. Spurs built on their deserved draw at Liverpool on Sunday to deliver another excellent display in beating Atletico Madrid 3-2 in their last-16 second leg, but it was not enough to turn around the calamitous 5-2 loss in the Spanish capital. This was a big upturn in performance and it will be needed again because Spurs now confront a huge game on Sunday, when fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest visit Tottenham Hotspur Stadium only one point behind in the table and the same tally as third-bottom West Ham.
