One Tottenham Hotspur man has been named in Squawka’s Premier League Team of the Week for his performance against Brighton.
Even though Spurs failed to take three points from the Amex Stadium, Thomas Frank insisted that Tottenham delivered their best performance of the season so far.
The Lilywhites started the game on the front foot and pinned Brighton back, but conceded twice against the run of play.
The Spurs side of last season may have crumbled after that, but Frank’s men fought back at the Amex Stadium and deservedly drew level, with Joao Palhinha even admitting that the Tottenham players were disappointed not to win.
Tottenham’s Richarlison makes the Team of the Week
Richarlison brought Tottenham back into the game with a goal late in the first half, which was his third strike of the season.
The Brazilian may not have started if Randal Kolo Muani had not picked up a late injury, but his performance was enough to see him make Squawka’s Team of the Week.
The data analysis platform gave Richarlison a Squawka score of 79 per cent and wrote: “Leading the charge in the Premier League team of the week, Richarlison scored his third league goal of the season in Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Brighton on Saturday.
“The Brazilian struck with one of five shots at the AMEX and won two aerial duels to feature on the frontline.”
Thomas Frank hails several Tottenham players
There were many impressive performances from back to front for Spurs, with Thomas Frank hailing Destiny Udogie for an ‘unstopable’ performance in his first start of the season.
The Tottenham boss also lavished praise on Mohammed Kudus after the Ghana international created both of his side’s goals at the Amex Stadium.
Additionally, Frank gave plaudits to Xavi Simons, who made an excellent impact as a substitute after being given the opportunity to operate as a number ten for the first time in a Tottenham shirt.
