Tottenham Hotspur emerged victorious as they beat Manchester City in the Premier League, with Thomas Frank in dreamland as Spurs boss.
Tottenham beat Manchester City 2-0 on Saturday afternoon in what was a dominant display from Spurs. Thomas Frank had a game plan which he stuck to, and he has his players to thank.
Joao Palhinha was excellent, Richarlison was a workhorse, and Micky van de Ven was a wall. Great performance from the Spurs lot.
But one player who did go under the radar was Pape Matar Sarr. He is quite simply ‘sensational.’
Pape Matar Sarr was superb against Manchester City
The Senegal star was mega against Manchester City and is becoming an integral part of Frank’s side.
He was absolutely everywhere, and his work on and off the ball, particularly in the press, is proving a major catalyst in Tottenham’s successes.
Ally McCoist couldn’t stop raving about him on co-commentary. He called him “sensational” as he awarded him the man of the match award.
His fine display was reflected in some nice stats for the 22-year-old:
Pape Matar Sarr can do it all for Tottenham
He’s quickly proving the theory wrong that Spurs need a creative midfielder. The failed Morgan Gibbs pursuit was one that hit Spurs fans hard, then it was Eberechi Eze, but thus far, when playing in the ten, Sarr and Tottenham have been excellent.
That isn’t to say Spurs shouldn’t fork out for a creator. But right now, the system is evidently working.
A new signing would mean that Frank can switch it up in games and utilise Sarr in other areas. But right now? Spurs shouldn’t change a thing!
