Poor Performance in Tottenham's FA Cup Win
Tottenham's narrow 1-0 win against Burnley in the FA Cup was marred by a lackluster performance. Pedro Porro's wonder strike secured the win, but the overall game was uneventful. Spurs seemed to miss the presence of Son and lacked creativity. Porro's goal highlighted his importance as the only creative spark for Spurs in the match.
Ben Dier's Injury Raises Transfer Speculation
Tottenham manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, confirmed that Ben Davis suffered a hamstring injury in the game. This injury further depletes Tottenham's defensive options. There have been rumors of Eric Dier potentially leaving for Bayern Munich, and the injury to Davis could push Spurs to secure a defender in the transfer window.
Concerns about Tottenham's Lack of Strikers
With Son injured, Tottenham's offensive struggles were apparent. The performance exposed a lack of goal-scoring options up front without Son. While Dane Scarlett and Bryan Gil showed promise, their decision-making and end product were lacking. Tottenham's reliance on Son highlights the need for additional attacking options in the squad.
