ON A NIGHT WHEN MANCHESTER UNITED’S GOALY ALTAY BAYINDIR AND TOTTENHAM’S GOALY FRASER FORSTER WERE BOTH ‘OFF THEIR GAME’, (THE RESULTS OF WHICH CREATED A MATCH WHICH WAS PACKED-FULL OF HIGH-OCTANE DRAMA) – WE WATCHED AN EXCITING SEVEN-GOAL-THRILLER! TOTTENHAM’S DOMINIC SOLANKE KICKED OFF PROCEEDINGS, SCORING THE FIRST GOAL OF A BRILLIANT BRACE AT 15 MINS, WITH HIS TEAM-MATE DEJAN KULUSEVSKI FOLLOWING ON WITH A CRACKER AT 46 MINS. AND WITH DOMINIC SOLANKE SCORING THE SECOND-HALF OF HIS BRACE AT 54 MINS, TOTTENHAM WERE 3 – 0 UP IN THE FIRST HOUR OF THE MATCH! BUT THEN UNFORTUNATELY FOR FRASER FORSTER (WHO IS BEING ‘HAULED OVER THE COALS’ TODAY, AND WILL PROBABLY EVEN ADMIT HIMSELF DIDN’T HAVE A GREAT DAY AT THE OFFICE) WHO MADE A COUPLE OF MISHAPS, IN ALLOWING BOTH JOSHUA ZIRKZEE AND AMAD DIALLO A COUPLE OF ‘GIFTS’ AT 63 MINS., AND 70 MINS. RESPECTIVELY, AND THEN WITH TOTTENHAM’S SON HEUNG-MIN SCORING A BEAUT FOR TOTTENHAM AT 88 MINS. AND JONNY EVANS A LATE CRACKER FOR MAN UNITED AT 90 +4 MINS., THIS THRILLING MATCH ENDED IN A 4 – 3 WIN TO TOTTENHAM! (FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN STATS., MAN U HAD 20 SHOTS, WITH 5 ON TARGET, AND 54% POSSESSION, AND TOTTENHAM HAD 9 SHOTS WITH 6 ON TARGET AND 46% POSSESSION.) SO ALL VERY INTERESTING TO ANALYSE, AND THOROUGHLY, THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING!
