Spurs still in title race - Modric

Spurs failed to break-down current league leaders Manchester United on Sunday as they drew 0-0 at White Hart Lane. United managed to claim a draw even though they finished with just ten-men as Rafael was red-carded with 16-minutes left. Despite their failure to break down United, Modric insists they that can still overhaul their current eight margin between themselves o the top. "Tottenham still have a chance. We are definitely not out of the title race, even though we didn't close the gap on United," he told The Sun. "In our last 14 games we've only had one defeat in all competitions. "That's excellent for us and we need to keep going. "Anything is possible. More than anything we have demonstrated Tottenham can compete with the very best teams. "Spurs are on the same level as United. And even though we haven't beaten them for 10 years, we showed on Sunday that they are not better than us, we can play with them. "The shame is we didn't win - but even a draw is a good result as it's not only a battle for the title but also a battle to get into the top four. "Some teams are going to miss out. It's a big competition to reach the Champions League next season. It's not only four teams, it's five or six teams fighting for this fourth place. "I hope we can achieve that top-four spot again but we need to keep playing like we did against United and we'll see where it takes us."
