Tottenham Hotspur had a lot going against it — an away match against a newly promoted opponent that is playing well and is unbeaten at home in their last 23 matches. Oh, and there was a European away fixture
a few days ago AND an upcoming international break. The negative karma was off the scale as Spurs traveled to Elland Road.
Spurs said “forget all that.” Tottenham two club debut goals today, one from Mathys Tel and one from Mohammed Kudus, and Spurs held on for a 1-2 away win over Leeds to put them, at least temporarily, into second place in the Premier League table.
Was it a great performance? Probably not. There’s lots to criticize if you want to. But for THIS Spurs team in these conditions and with the injuries they already have, it’s a very solid result, and one I honestly did not see coming. It’s a good win that I think Spurs will point to with satisfaction later in the season.
It’s time to rate the players.
Rate the players from 1⁄2 to 5 stars. If the player doesn’t deserve a rating due to minutes played, DO NOT RANK. I will round the stars up/down to the nearest half-star for the player ratings later this week.
