Tottenham turned the tides around with a 1-0 win over Liverpool at N17, handing the Reds only their second loss of the season. Ange Postecoglou, under immense pressure before the game, managed to rally his injury-hit squad for a crucial victory. Spurs legend Graham Roberts took to X after the match to commend Kinsky’s impressive performance, along with highlighting four other standout players on the night.
In the 77th minute, Spurs appeared to take the lead when Dominic Solanke found the back of the net, but the goal was ruled out for offside after an extended VAR review. Not losing focus, Tottenham pressed on and finally broke the deadlock nine minutes later. Solanke outmuscled Ibrahima Konate and expertly set up Lucas Bergvall, who calmly slotted the ball into the net.
Graham Roberts hails Tottenham quintet ‘gamechangers.’
Tottenham’s new addition, Antonin Kinsky, delivered an unforgettable debut, keeping a clean sheet and producing a brilliant late save to deny Darwin Nunez. The young goalkeeper showcased exceptional composure under immense pressure, making it a dream debut in a high-stakes match.
Roberts hailed Dominic Solanke as “absolutely unreal” and expressed admiration for both Lucas Bergvall and Antonin Kinsky, commenting on their outstanding performances. He also commended centre-backs Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray for their solid displays and extended well wishes to Rodrigo Bentancur, who sustained an injury during the match.
Kinsky, in particular, earned widespread acclaim, with Football.london’s Alasdair Gold giving the £12.5 million signing a stellar 9 out of 10 rating in his analysis. Gold highlighted a standout moment from Kinsky’s debut, describing how the young goalkeeper calmly handled a tricky, bouncing ball left by Dragusin, skillfully knocking it over an onrushing attacker’s head before confidently securing it.
Most important thinking of rodrigo bentancur 🙏
COYS big 2nd leg.
