Micky Hazard and Graham Roberts have offered their thoughts on Tottenham Hotspur knocking Arsenal out of the Carabao Cup.
Micky Hazard and Graham Roberts praised the performances of Dele Alli, Son Heung-Min, Moussa Sissoko and Danny Rose after Tottenham Hotspur knocked Arsenal out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side secured their place in the semi-finals of the League Cup with two well-taken goals by Son and Alli on either side of the half.
After the match, former Tottenham duo, Hazard and Roberts named the Spurs quartet that stood out for them on their personal Twitter accounts.
Prior to the match, Pochettino had opted to bench star man Harry Kane, with Son playing the role up front and Sissoko being deployed as a defensive-minded midfielder.
The tactic paid off as Son’s pace on the counter-attack hurt their neighbours added with Sissoko’s powerful display in the middle of the park.
It was only Tottenham’s second win at the Emirates Stadium after they had suffered a 4-2 defeat to their bitter rivals last month in the Premier League.
After the match, Pochettino’s men were drawn against London rivals Chelsea in the two-legged semi-final which takes place in January.
Following that impressive win, Spurs will now focus their attention back on the Premier League, starting with a tough away clash at Everton on Sunday.
