We fee the gamers after Tottenham secured a narrow 3-2 victory over Vitesse Arnhem in a hectic contest that saw Spurs nearly surrender a three-goal lead and the referee produce three pink cards.
Son Heung-min notched the first intention of the Antonio Conte generation after capitalising on a comedy of errors from the Vitesse Arnhem backline. Lucas Moura’s strike turned into parried back into the dangerzone earlier than the goalkeeper shovelled the ball into Son’s route through a deflection off his very own defender.
The South Korean’s attempt changed into tough and low and nestled in the bottom nook to make it 1-0.
The lead quick doubled while Moura performed a elegant one-two with Harry Kane earlier than coolly slotting domestic among the goalkeeper’s legs. It become Kane’s flip next after bundling the ball home, however unfortunately for the Englishman, the 0.33 goal turned into presented as a Jacob Rasmussen very own purpose.
Rasmussen turned into in the thick of the action moments later while pulling one again from a nook after outmuscling Eric Dier. Tottenham shipped a second when Matus Bero capitalised on a Moura blunders with Conte’s first half of on the helm generating 5 dreams.
The second half started out in instead extra sedate fashion until Cristian Romero become proven a crimson card for a 2d bookable offence. Not to be outdone, Vitesse were decreased to ten after which nine guys themselves on a night time in which the proper scale of the mission dealing with Antonio Conte have become clean.
Hugo Lloris: Excellent save to disclaim a long-range missile from Tronstad. Blameless for Rasmussen’s header and Bero’s strike with both goals coming from individual errors from outfield players. Busier than he would’ve expected at the start of the night after Romero’s red card early within the second 1/2, but persevered to expose his enduring class with numerous best stops. 8/10
Eric Dier: Outmuscled via Rasmussen at a nook for Vitesse’s goal. That second dampened the mood truly at a time while Tottenham had Vitesse on the ropes and kickstarted the Dutch side’s revival. Not on my own in making defending against Vitesse appeared tougher than it had any proper to be. five
Cristian Romero: On the the front front early and his willingness to step out of the backline kickstarted Spurs’ first danger for Son. Should’ve appeared more snug playing in a returned three than he did having performed within the machine at Atalanta.
The Argentine was afforded little safety from the wayward Emerson, but, and did himself no favours whilst committing a pointless foul at the halfway line for his 2nd yellow. four
