Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has claimed that he feels sick watching Arsenal outperform the Lilywhites this season.
Mikel Arteta's side currently sit on top of the Premier League table, a whopping 21 points clear of Spurs in fifth. That is a far cry from recent seasons considering the Gunners had finished behind their local rivals in each of the last six league campaigns.
Now, Levy has been speaking about the two north London teams' contrasting fortunes this term, admitting that he hates seeing Arsenal on top. Speaking to Cambridge Union, he said: “When we first came into Tottenham winning was about staying in the Premier League and then when we became more successful it was about getting into the Europa League, getting into the Champions League.

"Obviously the ultimate is to win trophies and that is clearly what we are trying to do, it’s easier said than done. Am I happy about the fact we have won one trophy in the last 15 years? Absolutely not.
“But I also think we have had some fantastic times, we have been in the Champions League a number of times, and despite the fact that I feel sick that there is a club in north London who is a bit higher than us at this moment in time, I look back at the last five years and we have also been above them. So that’s what happens.”
