Ange Postecoglou wowed by Tottenham talent who looks so ‘strong and lean’
Tottenham Hotspur are flying Europa League with three wins in a row in the competition as they saw off AZ on Thursday night.
Although Spurs weren’t at their very best, they got the job done, courtesy of Richarlison’s 53rd-minute penalty.
AZ’s Maxim Dekker kicked out at Lucas Bergvall in the box to gift Tottenham a spot kick early in the second half.
Richarlison, making his first start of the season, was seen arguing with James Maddison over who would take the penalty.
Maddison, who captained Spurs on the night, ultimately allowed his teammate to take the spot kick.
It proved an inspired decision, as Richarlison confidently struck the ball down the middle to ultimately give Tottenham the win.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s Crystal Palace clash, Ange Postecoglou gave his thoughts on the player’s fruitful first start of the campaign.
