credit to the linesman for correctly seeing that, as well as correctly seeing the ball on the line and not over it had he raised his flag and ended the sequence before the shot, VAR wouldn't have helped
Looks like Pep opted for caution figuring they will blow us away in the second leg. Poch made the adjustment of keeping his fullbacks in check and it paid off with a clean sheet. Great performance and result, tempered by the loss of Kane.
The goal gave the boys so much confidence. They looked like a different team after it. See Trippier pick Sane's pocket? Really important to prevent them from scoring. Beautifully balanced for the 2nd leg. Nothing like European nights in N17.
That was the best Trippier has been in a long time. Spurs did a great job in nullifying the threat of Sterling on the left by always bringing in a second man to support the RB. Too often, we have got done by leaving the fullbacks up the pitch and getting caught on the counter with no cover from the midfield. It has taken Poch almost the entire season to figure it out, but credit him for finally making the adjustment.
