Scored: Michorl (42); Eggestein (84); Karamoko (90 + 3) – Bale (45 + 2 pens); Son Heung-Min (56); Dele Alli (86 pens)
The draw at Chelsea last weekend helped Tottenham defend the top of the Premier League. In the Europa League, Spurs also played successfully with 9 points after 4/6 matches and were close to the 1/16 round.
However, in this stable period (Tottenham won 5 and drew 1 in the last 6 games), Mourinho must not be able to cure a headache from the physical strength of the students. LASK Linz’s guest trip tonight is “Rooster’s” fourth game in just 12 days. Not to mention a few more days, Tottenham also entered a major war with city rivals Arsenal.
Therefore, coach José Mourinho has almost completely turned upside down when most of the main players in the 0-0 draw a few days ago were sitting on the bench or not on the list. in the match against LASK Linz.
Only Hojbjerg, Ndombele and Son Heung Min continue to play. Gareth Bale, Lo Celso, Lucas Moura, Davinson, Doherty or Ben Davies have the opportunity to show that they deserve a regular kickoff, not the current “luxury reserve”. Remember that Lucas Moura is Spurs’ number one scorer in the Europa League this season with 3 goals, including 1 goal against LASK in the first leg (3-0 win).
Tottenham competition roster |
Of course, no matter which team he uses, Tottenham still surpasses the representative of Austria in all respects. But with the spirit of “nothing to lose” and the advantage of playing at home, LASK has entered a very good game. They are the team that dominates the situation at the beginning of the game.
In the 6th minute, the Tottenham defense was not very good, dropping the ball to Eggestein’s position near the 16m50 line and the striker fired a technical shot to aim at the low angle. Joe Hart was helpless, but luckily for the Spurs the ball hit the post. The first half of the first half passed, LASK also had a few more finishing situations, while this number on Tottenham’s side was 0.
LASK played better in the first half and deserved an opening goal |
Exactly 34 minutes, the new Spurs had a temporary chance to be considered first in the game when two consecutive free throws by Gareth Bale hit the opponent. However, prior to that, Joe Hart’s extensive experience helped him beat opponent Renner in a direct encounter in the 16m50 area.
But then the team that played the best from the start of the match also received a reward. In the 42nd minute, Matt Doherty slid ungainly into the home field, thus initiating the opponent’s attack. Then Goiginger pushed the ball into the middle so that Michorl without much momentum could still deliver a dangerous kick from a distance of about 25 meters. The ball hit the ground and flew into the far corner in Joe Hart’s surrender.
Bale suddenly tied for Spurs at 11 meters in injury time |
However, before the break, Tottenham suddenly found the tie even though they hadn’t played much better. Andrade let the ball touch his hand quite clearly in the 16m50 area and the referee couldn’t do more than blow 11m for Tottenham. Gareth Bale took over the penalty and the Welsh star managed to score his first Europa League goal this season.
Going into the second half, the match didn’t change much as the LASK host played like a coin and continued to dominate the powerful London guests. Joe Hart’s goal still frequently falls into the same alarming situation in the first half.
However, the level of the best stars in the world is something LASK can only dream of, but will never reach, but the Spurs clearly have redundancy in that regard. In the 56th minute, Ndombele took the ball very quickly after the opponent’s error, then punctured the slot for Son Heung Min to enter the 16m50 area and coldly finished off the cross corner of the goal as he faced goalkeeper Schlager.
Son Heung Min scored for Tottenham |
After taking the lead, Tottenham played more comfortably, although the game was still under LASK’s control. The 64th minute should have risen to 3-0 as Bale and Son Heung Min raced down to threaten the home team’s goal. Rather than making the decision to shoot in a position favorable enough to score a goal, Bale chose a horizontal solution for Son Heung Min, but the ball didn’t go away with his teammate’s movement, so the opportunity passed. to regret.
Host LASK Linz still played enthusiastically after being led, not so much that they fell into a state of surrender to accept fate and therefore deserved to find a draw. In the 84th minute, Davinson made a positional error that rendered the Spurs offside trap disabled and Eggestein quietly escaped to catch the ball from his teammates and unleashed a decisive left foot shot near the line of touch. 16m50, knocking down Joe Hart.
Tottenham has a third goal from 11 meters thanks to Dele Alli |
However, the joy that the home team has is short-lived. In the 86th minute, the second time in the match, Tottenham received a penalty after a foul was committed on Bergwijn. Bale or Son Heung Min had left the field, so Dele Alli, the disgraced Spurs player this season, had a chance to score with Mourinho with a successful 11-meter kick.
The winning idea belonged to Tottenham, in the third minute of injury time, LASK made a spectacular 3-3. No one instructed Karamoko, so the forward comfortably threw a puncture from a distance of almost 20 meters and the ball was too dangerous, giving Joe Hart a hand.
With much effort, LASK deserves a 3-3 draw against Tottenham. Karamoko is the player who claimed 1 point for the home team |
Despite dropping victory in the last minute, the draw was enough to carry Spurs to the group stage as the 3-point gap with LASK is preserved, but Tottenham is better than facing off (3-0 win in the first leg). The Austrian team had to officially part ways from the Europa League, but they left a good impression anyway, especially the recent 3-3 draw with Tottenham.
