English pundit hails Tottenham defeat as "something to be proud of"

Local media pundits praised Tottenham's loss to Chelsea.

Tottenham Hotspur lost 1-4 against Chelsea in the 11th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on November 7 at 5 p.m. ET.

The result was a three-goal defeat, but it was a nail-biter. Spurs took the lead in the sixth minute through Dejan Kulusebski, but were dealt a major blow in the 33rd minute with a VAR decision. Caido's equalizer was disallowed, but at the same time, Romero was given a penalty for a direct challenge. Cole Palmer slotted home the equalizer.

Spurs then lost James Maddison and Mickey van der Vaan to injury in quick succession in the closing minutes of the first half, and nine minutes into the second half, Destiny Udogie was sent off for accumulated cautions, making it a 9-on-11 game. 카지노사이트777 

Tottenham didn't drop their defensive line after that and went toe-to-toe with Chelsea, forcing a number of dramatic saves. Despite conceding back-to-back goals in the final minutes, Tottenham's performance was hardly a reflection of a team playing with nine men and missing four starters.

Two pundits analyzing the game for British sports outlet Sky Sports were full of praise.

Gary Neville said: "Postecoglou should be proud of his players for staying on the pitch. It was exciting, explosive, and crazy until the very end," said Gary Neville.

"I've been watching soccer for almost 40 years and I'll be neutral and say it was one of the most entertaining games I've ever seen for so many reasons," said Jamie Carragher. "It was like a box office, and that's why the Premier League is the best in the world."
