From the beginning you could see the script, with Potter’s proposing from the possession and the London club waiting to claw. But Mou and his men did not expect the effectiveness of the ‘Seagulls’, who bit down hard on the Lloris area and they beat the Frenchman thanks to an accurate shot from Leandro Trossard at 17 ‘.
In the second part Mou tried to pull the strings and add fuel to the fire: Lamela entered in place of Ndonmbele and Carlos Vinicius entered for Dávinson. He was precisely the Brazilian protagonist of the clearest ‘spur’ in the match, with a left-footed shot that stretched Robert Sánchez how long it is to avoid the tie.
But the agony of the game consumed Tottenham’s hope. Connolly even had the sentence, but a bloody Alderweireld saved. And there was no time for more: defeat by the minimum and Europe looks further and further away.
