We get it, guys, lions can destroy foxes.

Tottenham closed the gap on league leaders Leicester City with a convincing 4-0 victory at Stoke, and it seems the club is getting a little carried away about the Londoners' title chances. Spurs' official Twitter account posted this photo comparing Harry Kane, Toby Alderweireld, Ryan Mason and Christian Eriksen to a pride of lions. Because that's an entirely normal thing to do. https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/722409570719690754

It quickly brought some other, less flattering comparisons.

Even Mauricio Pochettino couldn't get on board with it.

At least one person chose a more appropriate animal for the club.

And there we were thinking Dele Alli's open goal miss was the most embarrassing thing Spurs would do this week.
