Tottenham secured a commanding 4-0 win over Everton on Saturday afternoon. The North London side were dominant in attack, with Son Heung-Min scoring twice, and Yves Bissouma and Cristian Romero also finding the net.
Ange Postecoglou gave Wilson Odobert his debut, describing his performance in Tottenham colors as “really exciting.”
However, one standout performance may have gone under the radar.
**Dejan Kulusevski: The Unsung Hero**
Dejan Kulusevski was the unsung hero of the match against Everton, as highlighted by his impressive Sofascore stats:
– 67 minutes played
– 95% pass completion
– 32 touches
– 4 key passes
– 1 assist
– 4/7 duels won
Kulusevski provided the assist for Bissouma’s opening goal and was exceptionally efficient in possession, as shown by his high pass completion rate. The Sweden international could have had even more assists, making four key passes from his new midfield role.
**Ange Postecoglou Praises Kulusevski**
After the match, Postecoglou praised Kulusevski’s performance. “We had Deki playing in midfield today, and I thought he was really good. Sonny scored a goal through the middle and another when he went out wide,” Postecoglou said, according to Football London.
Kulusevski may well become a regular in the number eight role, which seems to suit his skill set.
Tottenham’s next match is on September 1st, when they travel to St James’ Park to face Newcastle United.
