Tottenham’s Emerson Royal (24) presence is shining.
Tottenham won 2-0 in a home game against Chelsea in the 2022-23 season English Premier League round 25 held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 27th (Korean time) with Oliver Skip and Harry Kane scoring consecutive goals in the second half.
Tottenham, who had two consecutive wins, accumulated 45 points (14 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses) and maintained 4th place. However, 5th place (41 points) Newcastle played two less games. It is difficult to see that Tottenham is stable in the top 4.
Tottenham ended the ‘natural enemy relationship’ by winning 9 games against Chelsea. Tottenham had only 2 draws and 6 losses in the previous 8 encounters.
Several players were active on the day. Oliver Skip, who made his professional debut at Tottenham in the 2018-19 season, scored his debut goal for Tottenham in five seasons, including a loan season at Norwich City. A corner kick that started from Son Heung-min’s toes led to Kane’s additional goal. 메이저사이트
Emerson’s performance was also indispensable. Emerson, who started as a right wingback, showed his presence by playing full-time. He showed stability in defense to the extent that he made 7 successful tackles, and was active in attack. Statistical firm WhoScored.com gave Skip and Emerson the highest rating of 7.9.
Tottenham legend Ledley King also lavished praise on Emerson. King told Sky Sports, “Emersson is playing at a very high level. He’s fantastic. He’s been sluggish, but we can all see the quality he has.”
“Currently, he is playing well. Today was a very good day,” he added.
Emerson was once listed in transfer rumors. He is rumored to be moving to Juventus and Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window. Tottenham even brought Pedro Poro in the January transfer window. It was because there was not enough stability to trust only Emerson.
However, the recent influence has been significant. He excelled both in defense and in attack, overtaking Poro to perfectly occupy the starting right wingback spot. He is adding strength with improved performance than before.
