Great OMT (thanks
@Pirate55) ; Great win
Yes, Bournemouth were not the best opposition, and Boruc didn't help them.
BUT...whilst not wanting to blow our trumpet too much over this win, i think we have to give our plan and method some credit here: only ONE goal was TOTALLY gifted to us and that was Lamela's to make it 3-1.
The first, ok you could say Boruc was a bit rash with how he collided with Kane but wasn't Eriksen's throughball excellent, plus Kane's run?
The second, a couple of ricochets in our favour BUT it was from us attacking them and putting them under pressure that led to that moment; no sideways-to-sideways passing non-stop would have led to that and it was a Pochettino attacking philosophy that led to that imo.
The fourth: GREAT build-up and ball from Eriksen. That was NOT a gift at all!
The fifth: i think most goalkeepers would not have held that strong header from Toby and so it was Kane's attacking awareness to be in the right spot that led to that goal as well as OUR attacking play.
So i think most of the goals were to do with OUR good attacking play; remember also that it was US who went behind after 49 seconds, the fastest PL goal conceded this season. Our heads could easily have dropped after that (we've seen it all before haven't we?)
I'd be happy if the media narrative keeps gonading Boruc instead of giving us too much praise though...the longer away from the limelight the better i say.
Onwards and upwards - COYS!
