In a display of unwavering form, Spurs clinched their fifth consecutive league win against the Tricky Trees, with Dejan Kulusevski emerging as the star of the night, contributing a goal and an assist.

Despite facing defensive challenges, the visitors showcased resilience after Brennan Johnson’s unfortunate injury forced a tactical reshuffle.
In a twist of fate, Kulusevski, deployed on the right flank following Johnson’s exit, became the catalyst for Tottenham’s success.
