A lot of people had Chelsea down as favourites for this one but the Spurs players certainly turned up today and put on a good all-round team performance to take the three points and capture first place in the league table. The first half was slow to take off and Piervalerio’s yellow card was the first really notable event, along with a couple of ultimately sterile combinations between Tancredi and Claudio down the left. Things then exploded into life when Spurs were awarded a penalty for Sam’s handball. Sam was shown a red card… but VAR intervened to commute that to a yellow; Lorenzo F nailed the penalty: 1-0 at half time. The first few minutes of the second half belonged to Christian, in goal for Spurs. He made three fantastic saves: the first to block a sledgehammer of a shot from Carlo; the second to stop a well-placed shot from Claudio; the third to keep out Tancredi from close range. After that, the Spurs outfield took over. Steve had a shot well saved by Leopoldo but his next shot was cleverly dummied by Lorenzo F; Leopoldo was fooled - 2-0. Steve struck again for 3-0.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Christian 4, Steve 3, Sam 3, Lorenzo F 3, Claudio 2, Carlo 2, Piervalerio 2, Tancredi 1, José 1
