Having reviewed this clip many, many times, my verdict is that this was just a goal produced by individual brilliance. It’s always galling to suffer one but the header was perfect and the movement in the box only served to inadvertently leave Hugo Lloris unsighted until it was all too late.
Spurs were incredibly unreliable defensively – but in this instance against a side 14th in the table – that didn’t cost us.
Last night’s result gave the odds for Sunday a nudge in Tottenham’s favour. Personally, I take a view that bookmakers move markets more frequently than punters do.
