Tottenham continued their fine form and made it five successive wins in all competitions with a 2-1 triumph over Hungarian side Ferencvaros in the Europa League.

Ange Postecoglou's men, who had beaten Coventry, Brentford, Qarabag and Manchester United before their trip to Budapest, started off slowly but took the lead in the 23rd minute through Pape Matar Sarr. A tough second half followed for Spurs as their hosts attempted to peg the north Londoners back.

They managed to ride that wave of pressure, though, and looked to have wrapped the game up with five minutes of normal time remaining. In-form Brennan Johnson continued his scoring streak with a neat finish.

But it was a nervy stoppage time as Barnabas Varga headed home shortly afterwards. Thankfully for Postecoglou's team, though, they were able to hold on.

With Tottenham sitting in a comfortable position in the new league phase of the competition and up to eighth in the Premier League, football.london have taken a closer look at how their next five fixtures compares with those also competing for a top-four place this season. You can find them below;

Tottenham's next five fixtures

Brighton (A) - October 6 - Premier League

West Ham (H) - October 19 - Premier League

AZ Alkmaar (H) - October 24 - Europa League

Crystal Palace (A) - October 27 - Premier League

Man City (H) - October 30 - Carabao Cup

football.london's verdict: Spurs have had a mixed start on paper and that theme is set to continue after the trip to Ferencvaros. A trip to an inconsistent Brighton side is next up on Sunday, before games against West Ham and Crystal Palace in the Premier League - either side of a home game with AZ Alkmaar in their Europa League assault.

There is no doubt Spurs fans will be expecting at least six or seven points from their next three top-flight matches considering the form they're in and where those three sides are in the table. Yes, the Carabao Cup fourth round tie against Manchester City does feel like the toughest of the bunch, but why can't Tottenham beat them in the form they are in right now? If they do beat City, supporters will be dreaming of winning a first trophy since 2008.
