What a defensive performance that was. Amazing work by the team, especially Christensen, Luiz and Kante. They locked up the middle against a strong Spurs team.
Just a note, but how do Spurs get away with rubbish tackles all the time?! Dier should've been off immediately for that 1st half tackle. That was more dangerous than the Cahill tackle from last week.
Vertonghen's "tackle" (if you can call it that) deserved a red as well. That's just nasty and dangerous.
It's incredible how dirty and rough they are in defending, yet guys like Alli fall over whenever the wind blows in the stadium. Ref kept giving them the softest of FKs as well. Luckily we dealt with the FKs and corners extremely well.

Went to the game as always today and I've just got home and watched the game again on TV.
A few things spring to mind how did Spurs finish with eleven players?
Also watching the recording the most used name by the commentators and the so called match experts was Matic!
I think I'm correct in saying he no longer plays for us and certainly doesn't play for Spurs!

I was getting annoyed wth that. Matic was an average player for us and £40m is a steal. Bakayoko was much better in that game than Matic was all last season. It's only because we sold him to a rival that everyone is making a big deal about it.
