Tottenham are certainly heading in the right direction under Antonio Conte, and a couple of tweaks here and there this summer could put them on track for a successful 2022/23 campaign. Delivering a shock back in February with a superb 3-2 win over Man City, the Lilywhites once again frustrated the Premier League's top two on Saturday evening following a 1-1 draw against Liverpool.
Spurs could have very easily left Anfield with all three points in the bag, only for Luis Diaz's deflected equaliser 16 minutes from time to clinch a point for the hosts. Up against it with Diaz, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in attack. Tottenham remained strong at the back throughout and delivered a defensive masterclass to really frustrate their opponents.
The back three of Eric Dier, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies were exceptional during the game, with the Welshman producing a stunning block late on to stop Salah from bringing Hugo Lloris into action. Named man of the match following his sensational display in the Tottenham backline, after the game Davies opened up on his crucial bit of play and how well the team defended as a whole.
