Like everybody else, I just about lost it when that ball somehow crossed the line - Actually sank to my knees in disbelief and relief. Haven't done that since Guddjonsen missed that sitter with the last kick of the '05 semi-final... Simply couldn't believe that it went it.
About 90 minutes later, when my pulse had returned to something resembling normal, I re-watched the important parts of the match, and noticed a few things that I hadn't seen properly as it happened live:
He's not a sexy choice and I too was scratching my head when he was brought on with such little time left and so much at stake, but Origi played very well in the 10 minutes that he had... he both started and finished the move that led to the corner, and that's a few times now that he's come on and made a big, important difference in a big, important match. Fair play to the lad - He's helping the cause.
Trent didn't exactly break his arse to get back and mark Moura in the build up to their equalizer, did he? From the moment that free kick is taken, he's already out of position AND he's only jogging back, when the Spurs midfielder are swarming forward... Not impressed with that effort at all.
That ball was moving. Ref saw it. Did nothing.
And what a clearing header that was from Harry Kane, just seconds before our winner... In his own six-yard box, surrounded by attackers - Virgil would've been proud of it. Shame it was all for naught about 7 seconds later, eh? 😉
