Giovani Lo Celso’s deflected goal gave Spurs the early lead. However, goals from Ollie Watkins and Pau Torres helped Unai Emery’s team pull off an incredible comeback victory on the road, moving them above their rivals and into fourth place.
After going unbeaten for the first ten games of the season under their new manager, Ange Postecoglou’s team suffered a further blow to their afternoon when Rodrigo Bentancur was injured in the first half due to a challenge from Matty Cash.
The promising start under Postecoglou threatens to further unravel with a reduced roster and difficult games against Manchester City and Newcastle United ahead. Kulusevski is pleading with supporters to support the team through this challenging period.
After the game, the Swede expressed his sincere wish that the players will stick with the team because if they do, we will win in the future.
Everyone in our club needs to stick together, and what other people say outside of it doesn’t matter. Everyone must be cheerful within and support the players since we will make them happy.
We gave an amazing performance. The first thirty minutes were amazing and very well done by all. You want to win when you play that manner, but this is how it’s done. We must go on.
“The main issue is that we have lost three straight.” We need to play the way we did for ninety minutes, especially the first thirty, in order to avoid losing games. All we need to do is get better mentally. That is all there is to it.
“We are amazing in football, and the coach is working wonders with us.” All we need to do is keep moving forward, have faith in our abilities, and play this way. It’s the little things. We ought to have gained a few goals. After the game, there would be smiles if we were more clinical.
Next Sunday, Tottenham will have another opportunity to resume winning, albeit with a difficult away trip to Manchester City.
The reigning league champions have won three of their past four meetings with Pep Guardiola’s team, but Spurs have an excellent recent record against them. They have not lost any of their last seven games.
It will be an exciting game, he continued. “We played there a couple of times before with Antonio [Conte] and did good.”
We’re a pretty good team too, but City’s a terrific team. I enjoy competing with them. I’ve scored twice in my two games against them. I’m excited to try it once more.
