Two Spurs Stars Earn Recognition in Sofascore’s Team of the Week
Following a Stellar Team Effort, Two Spurs Players Earn Spots in Sofascore’s Team of the Week, with One Receiving Special Recognition
Tottenham Hotspur’s victory against Manchester City was a performance worthy of recognition and praise.
Historically, Spurs have managed to secure points against City, with some wins feeling less than fully justified. However, this was not one of those cases.
Last weekend’s match showcased Tottenham’s ability to utilize counter-attacking football effectively while maintaining dominance.
Ange Postecoglou’s side pressed high against one of the Premier League’s toughest opponents and attacked with intent and precision, even when playing on the counter.
Defensively, Spurs were organized and aggressive, working as a cohesive unit. It was a collective effort where any player could have been singled out for individual accolades.
Two Spurs Stars Shine in Sofascore Team of the Week
Sofascore revealed their statistically calculated Team of the Week on X, including two standout Spurs players: Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison.
Vicario earned a rating of 8.3 for his five crucial saves and clean sheet, while Maddison’s brace secured him an outstanding score of 9.2.
Maddison was also named Player of the Week by Sofascore.
Their post highlighted his exceptional performance, stating, “None were more impressive than James Maddison, who earned our Player of the Week award thanks to a brilliant display at the Etihad.”
Dejan Kulusevski: An Overlooked Contender
While Maddison and Vicario’s recognition is well-deserved, Dejan Kulusevski’s exclusion from the Team of the Week feels surprising.
Kulusevski received significant praise from pundits after the match for his contributions, which were arguably as crucial as Maddison’s.
His relentless energy, precise assist for Maddison’s opening goal, and remarkable dribbling that set up Pedro Porro’s strike all underscored his influence on the game.
Sofascore’s ratings seem to favor goal-scorers, as all midfielders and forwards included in their Team of the Week registered at least one goal.
Despite this, the three points Spurs earned from the victory are likely reward enough for Kulusevski, who continues to solidify his place as one of the Premier League’s top attacking players.
Tottenham’s win was a masterclass in teamwork and individual brilliance, cementing their status as serious contenders in the league.
