There is one Tottenham player who is on the ground with both legs, one who knows what kind of player he really is. He's Danish viking Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. In the beginning of season I wrote he's great in defending work, taking ball away,tackling, blocking etc... but when it comes to organisation of play he should be more of the danger. I also wrote he need to be danger when shot outside the box. I don't know if he is reading that or if Conte is reading minds of fans, but he improved in that aspect on rapid scale. He started scoring goals outside the box, make great through balls etc...
Today he resolved game against Everton with very skillful attempt on goal from inside the box. He let Everton player trying to block him fly away and then easily find the net! That is how really big players are doing things! Well done Pierre! Tottenham won Everton 2:0 and that was late second goal for sealing win. Let's start from beginning of the game. Tottenham was in control of the game from start to the end, had two chances in first half, but Kane missed ball on Son's good cross, Richarlison kicked ball with top of his head over goal after Perisic's great cross. Visitors had two counter attacks, but shot over goal.
Another Tottenham ran out of dressing room. It was Tottenham we love, Tottenham which is bombarding from all sides. Shots started to happen from everywhere and after Pickford deflected one made by Doherty Kane got the ball and Everton goalkeeper made contact with head, body and arm with him and it was penalty. Kane scored for 1:0. Stadium were shacking because of "He's one of our own" singing. It was nice to hear. Before that Richarlison got injured and Bissouma came in and formation changed to 3-5-2 and that was game changer.
Then the most beautiful moment of game described above happen. Kane sent ball to Hojbjerg. It was big chance, Everton defender tried to block,. but Pierre found space for shot and fired up bullet into net! Piece of art! It's 3rd piece of art of this player in 4 games. Remember pirouette against Eintracht, cross for Son against same opponenet and now this.... He become very very serious player.
Matthew Doherty played good on right wing back. Opponents got 2-3 yellow cards trying to stop him. Conte gave him big hug after substituting him and told him something and he laugh. According to Ally Gold Football London correspondent it was this 'now finally you are the player I know!'. :) I like that.
Very good and important win against well organized and not bad at all team. Well done Spurs.Well donw Antonio. COYS!
P.S. I wrote bad article last time because my account has been hacked. LoL Of course I will never stop watching Tottenham.... :)
