SAD News: Tottenham best player have decided to leave and never return few minutes ago
Tottenham Hotspur failed to make it six wins from six in all competitions this evening, letting a two-goal lead slip to taste defeat against Brighton in the Premier League.
Let’s take a look at how the individual players got on:
Cristian Romero – 4 – Let Welbeck run free in the first-half, which almost cost Spurs a goal. Caught ball-watching for Welbeck’s goal too. Always looks incredible with the play in front of him, but lets attackers go far too often.
Micky Van de Ven – 4 – His pace in behind is always an asset to stop dangerous attacks, but he really struggled defending around his own box today. The left side of the Spurs defence was hopeless.
Destiny Udogie – 3 – Gifted Brighton a goal with his mistake at the back post. Had he missed the ball completely or cleared it properly, it would have been fine. He got just enough on his scuffed clearance to set it up perfectly for Minteh. Should have been a lot stronger in defending Brighton’s second too. Copy and paste that for Brighton’s third too. Awful defensive showing from Udogie today
Rodrigo Bentancur – 6 – Bentancur is anything but a lone defensive midfielder, but he is so calm on the ball and oozes quality in tight areas so it just clicks. Imperative to the way Spurs cut through Brighton in the first-half. Perhaps he needed more support in the second.
Dejan Kulusevski – 7 – Really deserved a goal or assist today. Every good Spurs move went through him and he found space with such ease down the right. Such a clever player on the ball who rarely wastes a chance to create a dangerous attack. Ran out of steam a little in the second half.
James Maddison – 7 – Fortunate to get a goal from such a weak shot, but there was nothing fortunate about his first-half performance. He picked up some great positions between the pockets. Unfortunately, he struggled to control the game at all in the second 45.
