Julen Lopetegui’s team continues to give them a huge vulnerability and it is not in vain that they are the second most goals scored team in the British championship. A steal in midfield, a perfect drive by James Maddison and an opening in the left sector was enough for Tottenham to enter the West Ham area.
Dejan Kulusevski, who is not exactly the most unbalanced winger in the world, easily cut back towards the center and with a shot that managed to deflect the goalkeeper Areola, tied the game. From this moment on, everything was local.
