Failed selection → Postecoglou's 'super-strong water' in the 30th minute of the second half
Tottenham Hotspur won 2-1 against Burnley in the 37th round of the 2023-24 English Premier League held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 11th. Tottenham gave up the first run in the first half of the day, but won with the upset goals of Pedro Porro and Mickey van der Ben. Let's find out more about the game through reporter Jang Ha-joon of SPOTB News.
1. Please summarize how the game went.
Tottenham had a really tough victory. They were dragged away by Burnley, who was 19th, conceding the first goal in the 25th minute of the first half. But it was the defenders who saved Tottenham from the crisis. Pedro Porro tied the score in the 32nd minute. And Mickey van der Ben, who turned left-back, scored a dramatic winning goal in the 37th minute of the second half.
2. What was the factor that enabled Tottenham to win.
Postecoglou's mercenary skills shone through. Postecoglou made an unconventional choice to start midfielder Oliver Skipp as a left-back. However, the skip provided an excuse for the loss by giving up space in the first goal process.
In the 30th minute of the second half, Postecoglou replaced several players. He moved Son to the left and put Dane Scarlet in place of Dejan Kulusevski to the forefront. Then, instead of skipping, he put in center-back Radu Dragucine and set up Van de Ben as the left-back. This choice hit the mark. Van de Ben scored the winning goal, and Son showed great movement from the left.
3. How was Son Heung-min doing.
Son's performance was good. He created a total of five critical chances on the day. This was the most for both teams. However, his teammates repeatedly failed to secure the chance that Son had given them. Son, who has 17 goals and nine assists so far, is about to record 10 goals and 10 assists, but he failed to record any assists in this match, pushing it to another opportunity
4. How did the victory affect Tottenham.
Now, Tottenham has saved some hope for a place in the Champions League. With two games to go alongside Aston Villa in fourth place, they have narrowed the gap to four points. Now, Tottenham should pray that the villa will slip after a good performance in two games. 토토사이트 순위
