Sanchez was nothing shy of superb.
Sanchez recovered the ball more than any other Tottenham player.
Recovering the ball, that’s got to be a key asset for a defender, surely?!
When it came to making challenges, the Colombian was pretty lethal – his 74% success rate really put him on a different level.
The 22 year old was also the beating heart of our backline.
Successful passing percentages were somewhat muted in Saturday’s game – there was a lot of the ball in the air on occasion – but only two players both Terriers, Hogg and Zanka moved the ball about more accurately than our #6.
Sanchez also made 3 interceptions, only bettered by Danny Rose’s impressive 10 events in this discipline.
The old ‘influence graph’ gives us a flavour of activity, but doesn’t drill down into just how positive those influences were.
For example, Moura’s name is big and bold there, but he won less than half of the challenges he went in for and no Spurs player gave the ball away with greater frequency.
