The Key Moment of The Season - the criss-cross that bemused the Spurs defence

Recommended Posts

Posted

The 1-0 win at Spurs was so crucial. Schmeichel's save from Kane, Huth's goal. Here's the moment when Alderweireld contrived to push over Eric Dier and clear the way for Huth's header.

What on earth was going on?

 

At every corner, Dier had been marking Huth, and Alderweireld had been picking up Morgan. Earlier in the second half, at the previous corner from the same place, Huth positioned himself at the near post, Morgan at the far. Morgan got in a header from the corner, to Alderweireld's obvious discomfort. Now, in the 82nd minute, they took up the same positions - Morgan hanging back, Huth in front. But then the crucial thing happened - they criss-crossed. Morgan suddenly made a run to the near post (which you see in the gif), and Huth stepped back. Alderweireld tried desperately to track Morgan's run - but Dier was blocking his path.

This one has competition for hilarious Spurs corner moment of the season, though. Anyone got a gif of:

 

1)  Dele Alli falling over his own feet to concede the corner that led to Huth's header?

2)  Hugo Lloris throwing himself to the ground after Dawson's equaliser for WBA last week?
