Tottenham return to the Europa League this week with a spring in their step, after a productive couple of months for Mauricio Pochettino and his side.
Since their last appearance in the competition, Spurs have booked a place in the final of the Capital One Cup, as well as moving to within two points of the top four.
And they also boast the highest scoring player in the country, with Harry Kane having fired 23 goals in all competitions so far this season.
The form of Kane – as well as the likes of Christian Eriksen, Hugo Lloris, and improvements from Moussa Dembele and Ryan Mason – have Tottenham fans believing the 2014-15 season could be one to remember.
If Kane can continue his goal-scoring form from now until May, there is every chance it could be.
The 21-year-old features heavily as we count down the best five Spurs goals of the season so far.

Christian Eriksen v Sheffield United (2nd)
A second leg away to Sheffield United looked a tough fixture on paper, with the conditions on the night doing little to help Tottenham’s goal of reaching the Capital One Cup final.
But two moments of quality from Christian Eriksen ensured Pochettino’s side will face Chelsea at Wembley on March 1 – both of which make the top five.
His second goal of the night was an especially clever finish. With the through ball running away from him, everyone expected the Dane to put his laces through the ball and smash it at goal. Instead, he casually clipped the ball across the ground into the bottom corner. A finish which showed tremendous composure and cleverness, and all but booked Spurs a place at Wembley.
Christian Eriksen v Sheffield United (1st)
Yet his first goal that night was even better.
In less than two years at Spurs, it could be argued Eriksen has established himself as the best free kick taker in the country.
Anybody who may need convincing need only to look at his effort against Sheffield United. From a tight angle, the Dane somehow whipped the ball across the goalkeeper and into the very top corner.
He has scored a few in his time at Tottenham, but this effort is up there with the very best.
Harry Kane v Chelsea
Harry Kane has been a revelation this season with 23 goals to his name in all competitions. But it has been his habit of scoring in the games that matter most that has endeared him to Tottenham fans.
His double against Chelsea on New Years Day helped Spurs to a 5-3 win over their London rivals, the first of which to level the scores was special.
Dribbling past Ivanovic and Oscar, Kane let fly with a right footed shot from the edge of the box which flew past Courtois and into the bottom corner. Very much a goal from nowhere, it inspired Spurs to produce one of the best performances of any Premier League side this season.
Harry Kane v Arsenal
And Kane continued his habit of scoring important goals by doing so against the old enemy Arsenal.
The 21-year-old rose highest in the box and powered a superb header back across goal and into the top corner beyond the stranded Arsenal goalkeeper.
A header of which the likes of Alan Shearer would have been proud, this 86th minute goal gave Tottenham a famous victory over their bitterest of rivals.
Erik Lamela v Asteras
It may have only come in a Europa League group game against minnows Asteras, but Erik Lamela produced one of the best rabona goals you are likely to see.
The Argentine hit the ball first time from the edge of the box after it broke loose with a stunning piece of skill.
It flew into the corner beyond the stranded goalkeeper, and sealed a comfortable 5-1 win for Tottenham.
If only the club’s record signing could produce moments of magic such as this on a more consistent basis.
