Tottenham expert issues ‘phenomenal’ claim after what he spotted in person v Southampton
Tottenham are already ahead of where they were last season after beating Southampton.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Tottenham beat Southampton 4-1 in their opening game of the 2022-23 Premier League season (6 August).
Spurs came back after going 1-0 down early in the first half.
Wenham, who was in attendance, was delighted with what he saw from Antonio Conte’s side.
“Top of the pile, Antonio Conte’s tricky Lilywhites are off to a good start,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“Really impressive performance. What was most impressive was that when we went behind, no one in the ground feared there was any issue.
“The players didn’t fear there was any issue. We just got our heads down like normal and scored very quickly after.
“It was a phenomenal cross from Kulusevski that was so good Harry Redknapp’s wife Sandra would have tapped it in.
“It was right on the point, a great goal. Very unlike Tottenham we then scored a second headed goal, this one was even better.
“It was like a snooker shot, arrowed into the far corner. It doesn’t get better than that. From that point onwards we were in complete control.
“Southampton offered nothing. Salisu did his best Djimi Traaore impression for the third, it was utterly bizarre. I’m not sure what happened there, he had some much time with no one around him.
“To get the most comprehensive win out of everyone in the Premier League this weekend was great.
“This was a team that we lost to last year, so we are already three points up from last season.
“It’s really promising all around.”
