In a recent Europa League matchup, Tottenham Hotspur managed to secure a win against a struggling Hoffenheim side, lifting some pressure off manager Ange Postecoglou. Spurs initially showcased their talent with an early 2-0 lead, courtesy of goals from James Maddison and Son Heung-min. However, despite the win, concerns regarding Spurs' defensive capabilities and overall team management lingered, especially as they fielded a weakened squad due to injuries. The match highlighted that, while there were promising moments, Spurs are not yet out of the woods and need further improvements ahead of upcoming fixtures.
After all Christian Ilzer's struggling side certainly seemed intent on doing everything in their power to ease Spurs back to good health, displaying such incompetence in defence.
The positive for an injury-hit Spurs is that they were stylish at first, going up 2-0 with goals from James Maddison and Son Heung-min.
Hoffenheim might be in terrible form but Spurs could take nothing for granted given their injury problems.
Postecoglou, who needs another win when Leicester visit in the Premier League on Sunday, would have faced more questions about his game management had an equaliser arrived.
