What led to Manchester City's first yellow card in the match?
0-0 when Harry Winks went past Sinchenko, who picked up a second yellow card for that. He was gone. And just two minutes later, Spurs had their first effort on target of the match. And that was from Steven Bergwijn for 1-0. Son making it two, and that was game, set and match to Spurs against City's ten men. Jose Munoz giving his reaction to Jeff Shreves.
Well done. Was that classic Jose, that victory?
No, no, no, no. We had good work. We worked very hard during the week. I'm so pleased for the boys.
How did Steven Bergwijn score his debut goal for Spurs?
We can look at the perspective of we were a bit lucky in a couple of situations. They hit the post or they missed a good chance. But we can see in the other perspective and say that we were very, very unlucky that the VAR didn't decide for a sterling red card. which is a clear red card. And from that moment, obviously it's a completely different game if you have to play 75 minutes or something like that against 10 men. So 11 against 11, really difficult, hard, but my boys very well organized, great effort, great discipline. We know how we can score goals. We know how we cannot score goals. So we were waiting for our chances and then with one player more, I know that they are top quality, I know that one player less is not a big deal for them, the way they move the ball, the way they give dynamic to their game.
But in that moment we had our chances to score and we did and very important three points for us.
Why are you so definite that it was a red card for Sterling? Because I see other situations.
I see when the decision is a red card. I see the red card of Son against Chelsea. For me, it's a direct red card.
In the first half, how concerned were you, though, when you were at times really under siege?
But that's Man City.
He's the champion. He's a fantastic team with players technically really, really, really, really good. We don't have the capacity to play with a front man that holds the ball and allows us to come out of the pressure and to keep ball possession. When we recover the ball, we have only one way to get out. And that's not keeping possession of the ball. So against City... They love the ball. They know better than anyone to know what to do with the ball. So when they have the ball for the majority of the time, it's hard. But I think fantastic performances, great concentration. I think the way Celso and Winks, they control Kevin De Bruyne, the movements that he does in these areas and Lo Celso, the way He controls also that position where Sterling comes inside and Gudongan supports there.
I think the boys were phenomenal in their effort. The goalkeeper saved the penalty. I think it was God's will because it's not a penalty. But our goalkeeper is fantastic and he's there to try to give us points.
What would you say, not just about the performance of your debutant, Steven Bergwijn, but also the quality of his goal, the take, the dispatch?
Yeah, you know, it's a great pass. I think Lucas, but then... So sharp, technically so comfortable, chest, volley, unstoppable even for a great goalkeeper like Ederson.
As soon as Sonny scored, you were speaking to him, what were you saying?
I was telling him that between... You know, I don't like to speak about this, but I have to say, if I have on the bench fresh attacking players, can do things that in this moment i cannot do so my players my attacking players they have to go until until the limits and was the limit for son was the limit for lucas i could bring only lamella in and it's difficult for the boys but what i was saying in that time is that even tired the one that was playing as a A nine, let's say, when the block was lower, had to drop and get the position of Rodri, forget the centre-backs with the ball. And for the one on the left side, with 15 minutes to go and winning 2-0, it's just an extra effort, but in this moment it's not Zonal anymore.
In this moment it's to chase Kyle Walker and to help Tanganga to defend.
What does this victory, the manner of it, give you? More than the three points over Manchester City in terms of the charge for top four?
