There is no shame in losing to the champions and Tottenham manager has made the same failure taste much better
he open-top bus parade begins at Monday lunchtime. Thousands of fans are expected to line the streets to pay tribute toand his team as they wind their way down the High Road, before a civic reception at Tottenham Town Hall. There, captain Son Heung-min will end 16 long years of silverware famine by hoisting aloft the Denying Arsenal The League Trophy, and frankly few men have done more to earn it.when it looked like they might salvage a draw, or even a disastrous win.
And yet even as Son ran through on goal in the final minutes, you could still detect a certain ambivalence among the Spurs fans behind Stefan Ortega’s goal, a sense that it would be fine if he scored, and fine if he missed, and good banter either way. The winning of a corner in the 78th minute was greeted not with the sort of feral roar you might expect from a team 1-0 down and still in with a shout of Champions League qualification, but a polite and almost embarrassed ripple of applause.
Haaland’s inevitable opening goal smashed the facade, and yet Spurs spent the rest of the game gallantly trying to maintain it. Pedro Porro tried a backheel and lost possession, but Ange still seemed to like it. Rodrigo Bentancur came off and looked furious about it: again good, because it showed he cared. Son sprinted 40 yards to charge down Ederson, putting him 40 yards offside for the next phase of play, but good intensity, good areas.
