The best thing imaginable at Tottenham Hotspur
We all joke that Tottenham never win a trophy, but that seems to be the case.
While the first team ended the season conceding goals on the left, right and centre, and missing out on a Champions League spot, the under-21s enjoyed greater success.
Wayne Burnett's side sit top of the Premier League table in second place with 46 points from 20 games, with 14 wins and just two losses.
On any other occasion this would have been enough to crown the champions, but truly 'this is Tottenham's history', it was not to be.
Due to format changes at the end of last season, there are no longer promotion or relegation places in Premier League 2.
Instead, there is now a play-off tournament, with the top 16 in the 26-team league advancing to the play-offs.
With Spurs in first place, they will face 16th-placed Aston Villa in the last 16.
All matches are single-leg fixtures, with the team with the highest standings hosting the match.
If they make it all the way to the final, they will compete for the trophy between May 24 and May 27, and since they finish in the top 12, they will take part in the Premier League International Cup, where they will play against other leading teams in Europe .
It was a good start for Burnett's side, who secured a 4-3 win over Villa thanks to Will Lankshire's 108th-minute goal after going into extra time. Advance to the quarter-finals.
