Match Summary

It was only our second win at the Emirates, revenge for earlier in the month, a semi-final berth but it was even more than that – it was a titanic performance.

After a sluggish display against Burnley, it was everything we didn’t see that day. For a period Spurs dominated in the first half and they played with zip and penetration. For almost the entirety of the second half they developed their impressive pressing game into a fabulously resilient defensive display.

But they won because, allied to that consummate team performance, they had the impudent genius of one completely exceptional footballer.
