Tottenham Hotspur deserved at least a point today against Newcastle United in today’s match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Dominic Solanke scored off a header in the fourth minute, but Anthony Gordon controversially leveled two minutes later thanks to a handball in the buildup that match official Andy Madley declined to call and VAR declined to overturn.
Spurs had a number of chances to level the score — Solanke had numerous headed opportunities saved by Dubravka, Pape Sarr had a good shot saved, Deki put a ball off the post. But the real story is how much this Tottenham team fought against the in-form team in the Premier League. There were some very good performances in that match, including a quite competent display by third keeper Brandon Austin making his full Spurs debut at age 25. This was a good performance by a team playing with a defense that had Djed Spence and Archie Gray as central defenders for the entire second half.
I’m immensely proud of this team. COYS.
Lots to talk about. 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.
