Tottenham Hotspur kept another clean sheet on Sunday evening as they beat Arsenal 2-0 at home.
Jose Mourinho’s men picked up a comfortable win, with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane both on the scoresheet once again.
Spurs didn’t have a lot of the ball, but once again kept a clean sheet as Mourinho gets his side buying into his resolute style.
Tottenham have kept four clean sheets in a row and five in the last six games, conceding just once since their capitulation against West Ham United.
Games against Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal aren’t exactly easy, but Spurs kept clean sheets against all three in recent games.
Mourinho did everything he could to frustrate Arsenal, even ending the game with six defenders on the pitch as he brought on Joe Rodon in injury time.
The centre back was unlucky to be benched after his first start against Chelsea, but came on to help Spurs see out their 2-0 win over Arsenal.
Now, Mourinho has picked out Rodon for praise when speaking to Football.London, praising him for his brief display even though he only came on for one minute as he made a ‘great defensive header’.
“It’s Joe Rodon coming on for one minute and in that minute having a great defensive header for a long ball. It’s all these bits that go together, so step by step we are building,” said Mourinho.
Rodon is a huge presence at 6ft 4in tall, and that came in handy as he helped deal with a long Arsenal ball into the box – and even in a matter of seconds on the pitch, he earned praise from Mourinho.
