Tottenham

Then, Newcastle did us all a huge favor, defeating Arsenal at St. James' Park 2-0 behind a Ben White own goal, a result that put Spurs firmly in the driver's ...

Son Heung-Min (Community — 3.5): A tough match with which to catch Salah for the Golden Boot, but he had a couple of shots that were well saved by Nick Pope. Son has more trouble against teams that sit deep and defend, for obvious reasons. Harry Kane (Community — 3.5): Got the penalty, but missed a couple of sitters, including one in the first half that he buries 90% of the time. Emerson Royal (Community — 3.5): That compilation video wasn’t a banger like we’ve seen the past couple of weeks, but he was fine. Had the flick that caromed off a Burnley player’s arm for the penalty. Tottenham had the bulk of possession, but had to try and pick the lock of a (predictably) bunkered Burnley defense. Lucas Moura (Community — 3.5): Lucas wasn’t my choice for a Kulusevski replacement (Bergwijn was again RIGHT THERE) but his directness did stretch Burnley’s defense out of shape, especially early on. Update: Stamford is still under sanctions and is currently residing in a 6’ cage in the Manchester Zoo until the sale finally goes through. Ryan Sessegnon (Community — 4.0): OK, I might be grading on a curve here a bit, but Sessegnon was really very good and it was so nice to see him starting to come into his own. Spurs had tons of the ball, defended well, and ground out a must-win match. Tottenham Hotspur fans first endured a tense home match, the last of the season, against a Burnley side that beat them earlier in the season — this one ended differently, with Harry Kane firing home a first half penalty and Spurs hanging on for a narrow (and scary) 1-0 victory. The one who quietly slinked away, never to return, after the mysterious and sudden disappearance of the Turfies one warm North London night.
