Fair result, I thought. Tottenham is pretty darned good now. I was happy to see that Campbell and Debuchy weren't the defensive liability I feared (although Campbell should have pressured the ball on that pass that sprung Kane). Their goal was way too easy. I cringed when the replay showed Kos keeping Kane onside and then taking himself out of the play trying vainly to get the call. That was most un-Kos-like. Both teams missed golden opportunities for more goals than they got. The game was wide open and a delight to watch (or would have been had I not been so wrapped up in the result).
Before the start, I told myself I expected a 1-1 result, with the goals coming from Kane and Giroud. If I'd missed the game and you'd told me that Gibbs scored a goal for us, I'd have figured it was a laugher and Gibbs got a breakaway as a defensive replacement. I was very happy for him. He needed this.
I haven't seen the blogs yet, but my impression was that all the players on both sides gave a good account of themselves. If we can play this well carrying all those injuries, we'll be OK this year.
