’THIS ONE? WOW’: IAN WRIGHT STUNNED BY WHAT HE’S BEEN TOLD ABOUT TOTTENHAM PLAYER TODAY
Ian Wright was left amazed when he was told that Dejan Kulusevski’s goal during Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Sheffield United was the latest-ever winner in Premier League history.
The former Arsenal player praised the Tottenham supporters for their celebration of their team’s victory while taking aim at the “celebration police,” who have in the past interfered with players and fans appreciating such occasions (18/09/23 @ 2:10 pm).
It’s absurd enough to score the game-winning goal with 100 minutes remaining, but to trail 1-0 with 7 minutes remaining and still win the match is absurder still. Paul Merson admitted as much about Spurs after the game, even if it “hurts me to say it.”
Dejan Kulusevski was the one who garnered praise for his cool-headed finish over the weekend, but Richarlison deserves praise as well.
The Brazil star came off the bench against the Blades and contributed to both goals after this week’s public disclosure of his mental health difficulties.
When notified about the Spurs’ historic goal, Wright responded as follows, which may turn out to be a turning point for the player.
The late, late show from Tottenham
Which one? The newest thing ever, right? Wow,” Wright remarked. “Observe the crowd. I was happy to observe the jubilant celebrations and enthusiastic applause of the Spurs there.
“You score a late goal, that’s what it’s all about. We (Arsenal) have already scored one of those this season (against Manchester United).
“Toward the end of the game, you snatch it. Fans ought to be having fun. Oh, the celebration police have arrived, people exclaim. Why are they rejoicing when there are only five games left? they ask. It’s incredible.
The mood has changed at Tottenham
Even though Ange Postecoglou has only been in charge for a few months, the former Celtic manager has already changed the atmosphere at the team.
Spurs fans have not experienced such a strong sense of loyalty to their team since Mauricio Pochettino’s reign.
Even though it’s still early, the atmosphere is as upbeat as it has been for Spurs going into this week’s game against Arsenal.
