A Tottenham player has issued a new rallying cry before the most recent London derby against Chelsea, urging consistency.
In a wild match on Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Arsenal defeated Spurs 3-2 to keep up their title challenge and hurt their chances of finishing in the top four.
After again taking advantage of Spurs’ vulnerability at set-pieces, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg headed into his own net and Kai Havertz nodding home unmarked, Mikel Arteta‘s team lead by three goals at the half.
Kulusevski looked to have been caught in the Arsenal box before the intermission, but the Swede later claimed he could not recall if he had been fouled. In the meanwhile, Bukayo Saka scored an incredible breakaway goal.
Regarding the disparity with Arsenal, Kulusevski responded, “It’s not [that] big, but they’re much more mature and disciplined.” Where we fall short is in that area.
Arsenal has, of course, clearly done that in the recent past. To win the league, they battle. That still needs to be done. We are getting better in other areas. There is still a small gap there.
After David Raya‘s ill-advised pass allowed Cristian Romero to score, Spurs recovered in the second half, and Heung-min Son’s penalty set up a thrilling finish.
Speaking about mindset, do you believe it is simple to play 3-2 against the team that is ahead of you after trailing 3-0 at the half? Kulusevski continued.That’s a mindset as well. The second half was amazing. All you have to do is display it for ninety minutes.
Spurs have little time to lick their wounds, with another huge derby against Chelsea to come at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.
Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou was left fuming when Pedro Porro’s attempt deflected off two Arsenal players and fell into the path of Micky van de Ven, who had a goal disallowed by the VAR at 1-0 for a marginal offside call.
Kulusevski remarked, “I really don’t understand the rules in those situations.” “It is still offside even if it touched two Arsenal players. It was peculiar.
