Erik ten Hag is doing a very difficult job poorly at Manchester United and Chelsea can’t rely on a mythical striker to score *all* of their goals. Eddie Nketiah and Dominic Calvert-Lewin shone, and we make no attempt to contain the Tottenham title talk.Tottenham’s brief five-point lead was their biggest over a second-placed team in the top flight since the final day of the 1960-61 season, when they last won the title.
But the character showed by Nketiah in this game – giving the penalty to Fabio Vieira, dedicating his goals to his late Auntie – suggest he’s a guy that has his feet on the ground who won’t be cowed by further competition arriving at the club.“After more than 1,000 games you would think you have experienced everything, but no,” Klopp said after the win over Nottingham Forest, in an emotional tribute to the absent Luis Diaz, whose father is still missing.
No Premier League player has more than Hwang’s five home goals this season; the fifth really was lovely. Whether he’s actually been properly fit is another matter, and what we’ve seen more recently suggests he wasn’t. He appears now to have got his pace and strength back, and is providing a genuine physical and mental challenge for opposition defenders once again.
Ten Hag also presumably wouldn’t choose the derby as one of the better days to assess his signings at Manchester United. He took his £64m striker off with 20 minutes to go in search of a goal. His £50m midfielder –– did nothing of note having come on for another midfield addition who looked at least a level below the opposition. His £90m winger came on for the last four minutes, touched the ball once and got booked.
The pressure on Nkunku, or another big-name striker should they go for one in January, will be so high by the time they step on the pitch, with years of poor Chelsea finishing tipped to end on their arrival, they’ll be reduced to nervous wrecks.
