De Zerbi's Tottenham Secure Third Straight Premier League Win: Is Consistency Finally Arriving?

Tottenham Hotspur's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace marked a third consecutive Premier League win under manager Roberto de Zerbi, prompting chief football writer Phil McNulty to ask whether the club is finally shedding its inconsistency. Spurs have struggled to string together results this season, but the recent run—including wins over Manchester United and Ipswich Town—suggests a possible turning point. De Zerbi's high-intensity, possession-based style is starting to click, with key players like James Maddison and Son Heung-min finding form. The win lifts Tottenham into the top half of the table and within touching distance of European qualification spots. For a club that has long been criticized for failing to maintain momentum, this streak offers tangible evidence of progress under the Italian coach. If Spurs can extend their run in upcoming fixtures against relegation-threatened sides, they could mount a genuine challenge for a top-six finish. The question now is whether De Zerbi's system can deliver the consistency that has eluded Tottenham for years. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see if this is a genuine shift or another false dawn.
