Speculative throughout the first half, without expressing himself, far from the impressive level with which the competition began, the Tottenham uses Rodrigo Bentancur’s goalto undeniable irruption of Son Heung Min with a hat-trick in 14 minutes and at the stops of Hugo Lloris to resolve a tangle up to then against the Leicester City, the last in the ranking that sometimes put him in difficulty; respond to Manchester City’s triumph and put pressure on Arsenal, in direct competition for the command.
At the minutes and 45 seconds of the second half, with 2-2 on the scoreboard, the determination of the Uruguayan midfielder, who stole the ball, appropriated it, led it to the edge of the area and thrust it into the net with a low shot right (none of this would have happened without the lack of tension of Ndidi, from which he took the ball), triggered the fifth victory in seven days of the group headed by Antonio Contewho played with fire throughout the first half and several sections of the second, up to the three goals of Son, author of the great goal of 4-2, 5-2 and 6-2 between 72 and 86. He had entered the field at the end of the meeting time.
Leicester’s defensive absurdity betrayed his last position. Without a single victory already in seven days, with only one draw – the first day – for the whole course and with theirs sixth consecutive defeat, not even Tielemans ‘0-1 in the 6’ raised a team in full depression, expressively vulnerable in defense and too inconsistent in the attack. He handles the ball, moves, presses, attacks … And bleeds to death in the rear. Not even two goals at Tottenham helped him score points.
Tielemans he scored 0-1 from eleven meters. per second. The first stopped her Hugo Lloris, but it had moved to the head of the line before launch, as verified by the image of the WAS. The penalty was a clumsy Davinson Sanchez, who threw himself to the ground when he shouldn’t have, shrunk a leg when he realized his unconsciousness and committed the infraction on the sideline of the area that signaled him. with total responsibility. Not even the play of Justin James, who went to the bottom of the wing, justified the absurdity of the Colombian central defender.
Tottenham did not jump too much, this Saturday in half-gas version, without fully expecting that it must if it wants to be sample. Without doing it then, because he didn’t need it, two set pieces were enough to overturn the 0-1, unexpectedly simple due to all the facilities that Leicester offers every time the ball crosses their area: Harry Kane scored the 1-1 on a phenomenal Kusulevski cross just one minute and 52 seconds later, while Eric Dier in the 21st minute he headed 2-1, from a corner by Perisic.
The warning was still not enough for the London team, which fell back on a tiring pace, at a slow pace, as if the victory was already a matter of time, as if there was no one in front able to put the clash discussion back on track, as if if, with more than an hour to play, everything would be decided with so little difference. Speculation has led to an inconceivable mistake with the aspirations assumed by Antonio Conte’s team. Not even the last one forgives him, he has not given up. It’s tied.
Meter by meter, moment by moment, in the vicinity of the opposing area, he shortened the match at the Tottenham field and positioned himself for the draw, without fanfare, with few chances, with more intentions than football, up to the center he proposed Chestnuts Maddison finished in an extraordinary way from the right flank, with a volley by 2-2 to the other unreachable stick, no matter how tense it was, for Hugo Lloris. However, the Frenchman kept the tie afterwards, on the verge of rest, just as Ward had done in the other goal against Davinson. At the break the last one had shot double the third in the Premier: 12 to 6.
Thus Tottenham learned their lesson, emerging from the interval with a very different attitude and which, in just over a minute and a half, regained control of the scoreboard, benefiting once again from another unforgivable concession from their rival, this one. time of the center of Wilfred Ndidi, devoured by the pressure of Bentancur, who recovered the ball, launched into attack and finished the 3-2 with the inside of his right foot close to the post to redirect the London team, again grabbing Hugo Lloris to confirm an excessive win which he condemned Son Heung Min with three goals: 4-2 with a parable at the intersection of the poles with the right at minute 72, 5-2 with the left at 84 and 6-2 taking advantage of a counterattack at 86.
