The most frustrating 90 minutes I can remember watching us. Time after time we got into good positions only to find a way to mess it up. Misplaced passes, overhit passes, dribbling into players, delaying the cross and allowing a defender to block it - you name it we did it again and again. And then simply brilliant. Spurs must be kicking themselves that they were so passive after their early goal.
Everyone did pretty well. Seemed was excellent until he got in sight of their penalty box, Ran lived up to his name and produced a couple of outrageous drag backs. Three CHs fairly solid. Bellegarde looked a yard off the pace in the first half but improved a bit in there second but overall his awful shot when he should have played Cunha in summed his day up. Cunha battled hard and had some good moments. Pick of the starting XI were Super Mario and Gomes who worked their socks off and made a tremendous number of tackles and interceptions, Lemina's winning goal earning him my MOTM. Doherty was pretty anonymous, Sasa got a foot in a few times but Sarabia was outstanding - his goal was simply brilliant.
The ref did really well, especially his awareness that Spurs players seemed to have an automatic reflex when tackled to fall down and hold their head. A couple of times towards the end he ignored them and miraculously they recovered instantly.
I know Spurs had players missing but bringing in Hojberg, Dier and Davies with Bentancur and Lo Celso on the bench shows the difference in depth the big clubs have. In the end it was a deserved result that should not be overshadowed by them missing a few regular starters.
