It's a pain in the ass to make clips of the Premier League. You have to wade through nearly two hours of run time to hunt down goals, and, in my particular case, on a tiny window with inefficient marking—then there's all kinds of intellectual property laws that limit you to using gifs only, which means you need to edit video in separate software, and have to make them under 10.5 megabytes in order to post in HTML…. It sucks. But today, Tottenham made the job easy by rattling off three spectacular goals in the space of merely 5'45". God bless you, Tottenham, and your wildly efficient display of force against Manchester United.Second-place Tottenham's hopes for contention hung in the balance today, as Leicester earned three glorious points against Sunderland, putting Spurs a whopping 10 points behind the Foxes with five games left on the season. But an absolute deluge started in the 70th minute, as Dele Ali scored his eighth goal on the season (above)—just a day before his 20th birthday. (Lament your misspent youth here, old farts.) Now Spurs are just seven points behind.Immediately after Alli's strike, in the 74th minute, Toby Alderweireld found himself at the receiving, heading end of a beautiful set piece to tuck the ball neatly into the bottom corner.
Oh, but it wasn't over there, friends.What came next was just torturous for MU keeper David De Gea, as Erik Lamela came in with a scorcher amidst a yawning defense. Yes, those are goals from the 70th to the 76th minute, people.
Now if only you could go for three in three minutes next time, it'd help much with the giffing. Thanks.
