This is the best we have seen of Giovani Lo Celso so far.
Picking the ball up on the half-turn – (how refreshing to have a midfielder who can do that?) the Argentine shows great strength and control to carry the ball forty yards and take four Southampton players out of the game.
Via Erik Lamela, the ball is shifted on to Son Heung-min who buries his shot past Angus Gunn into the bottom corner to give us a 1-0 lead at St Mary’s.
The goal was checked for offside against Son first, and then for a foul by Dele Alli on Kevin Danso – the coming together on the edge of the box – but Lo Celso’s brilliance was not to fall victim to either VAR review.
