⚡️Key Takeaways from the London Rout
The hosts outclassed their rivals from the outset with superb pressing and movement. Goals from both wing-backs, Lewis-Potter and Kayode, highlighted the massive gaps Tottenham left exposed out wide.
Igor Thiago squandered a penalty on the 54th minute, missing the chance to push the score to 4-0.
With injuries to Simons, Kudus, and Van de Ven, Spurs appeared disjointed, and the quadruple substitution in the second half failed to turn the tide of the match.
