After back-to-back draws in their past
matches and their last one considered as an all-around upset against relegation
prone Sunderland, the Spurs were in need of a win, a valuable one.
Keeping a close chase over the league leaders
and cross London Town foes the Chelsea Blues, despite the Pensioners nine-point
lead, these Spurs do not give up on their aims of reaching the league top.
So far with a lone score over a decimated
Boro, the Lilywhites took the lead they would never surrender in the 58th
minute via a penal taken care by Harry Kane, after Son Heung- Min get fouled
inside the area by the visitors defender Bernardo.
After all, the Spurs playing at home they
are a force not to mess with and these after a total dominance in the match offensively,
the side of Aitor Karanka really stood its ground and denying the likes of
Kane, Heung and Alli.
Any liberties inside their area and its
defensive backfield really stood bravely over an attacking and always dangerous
home side that never gave in its quest of putting the scores well above their foes
reach.
With a brilliant Victor Valdes in the posts
for the Smoggies, these had a tranquil afternoon despite the push and fierce
attacking Spurs front, that at the end with a blink of an eye the rest became
history and the locals rise to the occasion with a brilliant win.
An afternoon with plenty of technique and
amazing football by both sides, still the ambitious desires by the locals of
putting the final change was the difference maker at the end.
Especially for the Spurs Boss Mauricio
Pochettino who reached a milestone under the helm of this North London club by
reaching his 100th match in charge of the White Hart Lane Bunch and
so far, he is doing a one of a kind job.
This match became a one on one duel between
the two elevens and seeing the Spurs triumphant at the end, and after the Spurs
score the visiting Middleborough bunch started pressuring and a the end
surrendering to the locals defense.
The Spurs with this win once again will be heading
to Anfield and play a decimated Liverpool and a win as well an odd result for
the blues can give this club the necessary motivation to mount on a winning
streak until the end of this campaign.
Very well the positive levels of confidence
for the Londoners is visible and these can became more mentally prepared to not
let matches against squads considered as modest end in just a simple draw or a
lost.
After Liverpool, the return to White Hart
Lane against Stoke City and then going to Goodison Park to play Everton all
three matches considered crucial for the Lilywhites in their aims to reaching
the league top.
For now, they need to focus one match at a
time and not surrendered anything to the opposition and continue their march
ahead towards the ultimate of goals, the Barclays League Shield.
