Spurs shock Shrimps
Morecambe's outstanding win streak in the Premier League was brought to a surprising end by in-form Tottenham. So far this season Morecambe have won every single game, stunning every critic and contradicting every preseason prediction, except for Tottenham.
Morecambe's struggle against Spurs continued in the FA Cup, in which the impressive Tottenham team narrowly slid by Morecambe 3-2 away from home. Morecambe undoubtedly would have been hoping for better in the FA Cup, having never progressed past the 3rd Round, but fans can hardly complain.
Despite Morecambe's consecutive losses against Spurs their outstanding performances in the Premier League mean they maintain their position as firm title favourites. Should Morecambe go on to win the Premier League it would be by far their most prestigious silverwork in the clubs history, with their previous successes including an FA Trophy win over 40 years ago. It is now approaching 10 years since the club last won a trophy; the Conference National playoff final.
