And it didn't look that promising, but suddenly it was because of a wonderful take from Dele Alli, move it to the side and put it outside the post, under the bar.
It was just different class.
The technique, the way he applies himself to it.
He doesn't just lash into it.
You think, like, big lad, he might just swing at it, could go anywhere, but it's not.
It's the way he covers the ball, it's his body shape and the technique and his...
knowledge that I have to keep this down and knock it into the turf but I'm not going to do it recklessly I'm going to do it with a real aplomb and he did it and it just came off his boots so fast it took the net out it was it was in before the goalkeeper even knew it like it's gone in and he's looking around the goalkeeper doesn't know what's happened he's got super technique I can remember watching the Euros when he stepped up to take a free kick against Russia and as a Scotsman I was saying oh good he's done
It's unheard of here.
This is phenomenal stuff.

You mentioned Dele Alli.
He makes the game look easy.
You've got the goals of Harry Kane.
But when you've got Trippier coming and playing like he does today, and then obviously when you look at other players in the team, the defence that he has, you think he's put a crack team together.
Seven clean sheets.
Seven clean sheets.
He's got them right at it.
That's a bit we don't talk an awful lot about.
The defence and the goalkeeper are a different class.
But I tell you, I look at Pochettino, I look back on his record.
