This, plus the defence were incredibly well drilled, but ALSO in the end I had to vote for Harry Kane. The guy carries the squad on his back, he is captain, leader, legend, record builder, goalscorer, creator, best defender, midfielder, manager, hero. And I keep voting for PEH so I'm gonna give Harry some cred.This gets harder every week!
I think Hojbjerg just tipped it with his celebration at the end when he snuffed out another attack.
Who was best?
I think Aurier was exceptional today. And the amount he has improved this season is truly miraculous. Like he developed his football intelligence and maturity in the space of a year.
As I said in another thread, it’s a combination of becoming accustomed to the league and that we are defending better as a team so the defenders are not under so much pressure. If opposing teams were able to waltz through our midfield as they were previously or we return to playing a high line with no pressure on the opposing team, then the old “Aurier” will probably resurface.I think Aurier was exceptional today. And the amount he has improved this season is truly miraculous. Like he developed his football intelligence and maturity in the space of a year.
Toby back from injury and made some key tackles

Should get MOTM for what he would have done.Yet another magnificent team performance. The only thing missing, was Lamela, just to wind them up a bit with his brickhousery
He'd get Xhaka sent off. 100%!Should get MOTM for what he would have done.
