After a good first half 0-0,when Lamela was close to score,he had some chances to made that,the finishing of our players was the problem, i stayed confident too for the second half...
The second half started not good for our side,Fulham make pressure and our defense concede a goal,after a wrong pass of Dawson to Paulinho, Fulham won the ball ,then a quick pass to Dejagah,this player scoring,i say,with a bad positioning of Chiriches who was a little guilty at this goal conceded,letting some space for Dejagah,anyway ,was a mistake in a row (Dawson-Paulinho-Chiriches).,1-0 for the hosts and some black clouds come and start to rain upon my head...thinking at the reactions after this goal conceded by the Spurs...
Then come the providence,that corner kick(min.73) when Chiriches fixing his part of mistake,scoring suddenly, "impaling" Fulham defence with that huge "missile" shot (left foot),Defoe had the inspiration,to jump over the ball,who hit the post then get in the net...watching the match in the livingroom on my PC (on ukrainian stream ,even their commentator was excited at the goal,he pronounce very well his name-"Kee-ree-kesh",not like others)...going in the bedroom to awake my father to come to watch the goal on a replay ...
he jumped 2 meters high from his bed...(he was almost asleep ,being late in the night,here +2 hours more than London Time...)
"Santa Holtby" scoring the second goal after another wonderful shot after a personal action, ,making 2-1,quite unexpectedly,thinking that Fulham played more better than Man.Utd on W.H.L. 3 days ago...
We won,3 POINTS EARNED, but we have now problems ,Jan Vertonghen,getting injury ,and we don't known yet how much he will stay out...i hope just some days...
my ratings:
-------------------------------Lloris (8)
Walker (7)---Dawson (7)-----Chiriches (7,5)-----Vertonghen (7)
-----------------Capoue (7)-----Sandro (7)
--Lennon (7)-----------Paulinho (7)-----------Lamela (7)
------------------------------Defoe (7)
subs: Holtby (7,5) min.46 for Capoue
Chadli (7) min 69 for Sandro
Townsend min.79 for Lamela
i choosed Lloris being the "Spurs player of the match ,with Chiriches and Holtby near him,they contribute with 2 wonderful goals,same "quality" goals like Sandro's goal vs Man Utd ...3 days ago..
Vlad Chiriches's goal min 73

Should catch on with the Park Lane no problems!He is the very model of a centre back Romanian,
His skills are more akin of being west mediterranean,
He'll catch a flying winger and then own him like a minion,
Making the kind of tackle that draws positive opinion,
He strides forward, and his opponents feel inconsequential,
And when he scores a blinder his fans get all reverential,
He's Tottenham Hotspur's number six, he redefines the role afresh,
He's captain of his national team. Nomenclature: Vlad Chiricheș.

Don't worry @Dan D i was watching it in my luxurious Barcelona-flat on my brand new mac laptop with high-end headphones on and scared the utter shit out of my model girlfriend when he scored*
Holtby on Vlad ... “But he hit that really well and credit to him, he’s Mr Cool at the back.”
Yeah, He might be Mr Cool at the back, but I wasn't when he was dribbling past Berbatov in our own Penalty area!!!
