"It's the 14th minute, Spurs neatly play themselves out from back down the right, it breaks to Pape Sarr who rolls the ball to Destiny Udogie (injured), and Brennan Johnson (Crystal Palace) steams down the left. He plays a perfect first-time ball with his left foot into the path of Son Heung-min (LAFC), who rolls it home. Tottenham are 2-0 up against a team they lose to at least twice a season."
"As it happens, the goal is ruled out, Cristian Romero (suspended) does one of his trademark get-the-ball-kill-the-opponent challenges in the box and is sent off. Udogie follows him down the tunnel. James Maddison (injured) gets injured. Eric Dier (Monaco) is in the middle of the highest of high lines. Unbelievably, Spurs have a couple of chances to make it 2-2 with nine men. But Chelsea run away with it and Angeball never quite recovers."
November 2023 began with Tottenham Hotspur top of the Premier League under Ange Postecoglou, playing dynamic, free-flowing football dubbed Angeball. In a match against Chelsea, an early Son Heung-min goal was disallowed and Cristian Romero received a red card for a challenge in the box. Destiny Udogie left the pitch injured and James Maddison later suffered injury. Tottenham, reduced to nine men, still had chances but ultimately conceded and lost momentum. The resulting sequence of suspensions, injuries and tactical setbacks precipitated a prolonged decline in form, undermining the team’s title challenge and altering expectations for the season.
