Wednesday evening saw Tottenham Hotspur take an immense victory over Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League competition to book our place in the semi’s with a two-legged test against Dutch giants Ajax.
Son Heung-Min gave us a late but narrow 1-0 advantage in the first leg, and the game the Etihad was a true classic with the game ebbing and flowing both ways, and against Spurs for a period. Add in a late disallowed goal following the intervention of the video assistant referee system and even though we lose, a brace from Sonny and a Fernando Llorente effort saw us through on aggregate.
With the dream of the semi’s achieved, manager Mauricio Pochettino needs to quickly ground and refocus the side for another trip to the Etihad as we face City in Premier League action and they’ll either be utterly deflated and bang out to prove a point.
Equally, having added Moussa Sissoko to our injury list, is this the proverbial game too far?
On the one hand, most I believe thought get three points from Huddersfield and what will be will be on Saturday, but after that high, the last thing we want is our hide handed to us now.
On the other hand, play the Under 18s, we got what we want…who cares!
