Tottenham Hotspur battled to another narrow victory on Saturday as we made the trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace.
With an element of Wolverhampton Wanderers disappointment for young Argentine Juan Foyth, manager Mauricio Pochettino kept faith with him for this one and many fans would say rightly so. They certainly were come the full-time whistle as the 20-year-old found the back of the net in the 66th minute to give us the win.
As a testament to the strength of the performance, the backline featured heavily in the top five performers on the day according to stats website Whoscored but their star man award went to Foyth with a match rating of 7.93.
Hugo Lloris took second spot with 7.82, Ben Davies (7.53), Moussa Sissoko (7.47) and Toby Alderweireld (7.39) completed the set.
25-year-old Serge Aurier also impressed, taking sixth spot having come on unexpectedly in the 23rd minute following injury to Kieran Trippier so Poch would’ve been pleased with his impact.
Nice to see somebody other than Harry Kane take their top rating.
