How long Tottenham have spent winning, drawing, and losing in the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur’s start to the season has been a mix of highs and lows under Thomas Frank, but new data has revealed exactly how much time Spurs have spent winning, drawing and losing compared to their Premier League rivals.

Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Hotspur side is yet to hit full flow under the Dane, with results remaining inconsistent at this stage of the campaign.

The forwards and overall chance creation continue to be areas that require improvement, and Frank is well aware of that following the recent boos from Tottenham fans.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is quickly becoming a one billion pound problem that Frank needs to fix, given Spurs’ poor home record this term, with Tottenham having won just one league match on home soil all season.

Fixing that would naturally improve the one thing that matters most in football, and that is winning.

Spurs have managed five wins from their opening eleven matches, drawing three and losing three to sit fifth in the table. But how long exactly have they spent in winning, drawing, and losing positions?

How long have Tottenham spent losing in the Premier League this season

According to data from Opta, Tottenham are among the sides to have spent the most time in losing positions this season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, who currently sit bottom of the table, lead this category, having spent 58% of their matches trailing. West Ham United follow with 47%, while Liverpool, who have struggled to defend their title, are third with 37%.

Spurs find themselves in seventh place on this list, level with Brentford, Leeds United, and Nottingham Forest, with each side spending 32% of their matches behind.

In the six games where Tottenham have dropped points, they found themselves trailing against Bournemouth, a match they lost 1-0. They were also behind against Brighton after just eight minutes, but managed to secure a 2-2 draw.

Against Wolves, they fell behind but drew 1-1, while in the clash with Aston Villa, they took the lead but eventually lost, spending a huge chunk of their time chasing the game after Rodrigo Bentancur gave his side an early lead.

Tottenham also went behind in their defeat to Chelsea, and in the recent 2-2 draw with Manchester United, they came from a goal down to lead before conceding late.

Tottenham mid-table for time spent winning in the Premier League under Thomas Frank

The final statistic concerns time spent in winning positions, where Spurs again sit around mid-table.

According to Opta, Thomas Frank’s side has spent 34% of their matches this season in winning positions.

In fact, when Tottenham do take the lead, they rarely lose, with their only defeat from a winning position coming against Aston Villa.

In their recent draw with Manchester United, Spurs were ahead briefly before a late equaliser from Matthijs de Ligt denied them victory.

Manchester City lead this category with 55% of their matches spent ahead, followed by Manchester United on 45% and Arsenal on 44%.

Bournemouth come next with 40%, while Chelsea and Brentford round out the top six with 38% each, just above Tottenham.
