\n

Tottenham fans are buzzing after their team\u2019s 4-1 thrashing of Ipswich Town<\/a> on Saturday, marking their third straight Premier League<\/a> win. Ange Postecoglou raised some eyebrows by benching James Maddison for the trip to Portman Road, especially after the Englishman\u2019s match-winner against Manchester United just six days earlier. But the decision paid off big time, with Spurs putting on a show even without him starting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brennan Johnson stole the headlines with a first-half brace, proving he\u2019s a key piece of Postecoglou\u2019s puzzle. The guy\u2019s got a knack for popping up when it matters, and Son Heung-min was right there with him, looking sharper than he has in a while. Son\u2019s two assists for Johnson\u2019s goals showed glimpses of his old magic down the left, even if he faded a bit after the break. Meanwhile, Djed Spence keeps impressing; solid at the back and now chipping in with his second goal of the season. He\u2019s making a real case for himself lately.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Archie Gray: 6\/10<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The young defender found himself tested early by Liam Delap\u2019s physicality. Though he struggled initially, Gray grew into the game.<\/p>\n

Kevin Danso: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like Gray, Danso had a shaky start but quickly found his feet. Positive in possession despite occasional wayward passes, he stood tall defensively.<\/p>\n

Djed Spence: 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spence continues to impress, delivering a defensively solid display while adding a late goal, which was his second of the season.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo Bentancur: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

The midfielder anchored the centre with a robust, reliable performance, dictating play effectively.<\/p>\n

Lucas Bergvall: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bergvall\u2019s quality shone through as he pushed forward. He displayed that he is improving under Ange Postecoglou.<\/p>\n

Dejan Kulusevski: 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quiet for much of the game, Kulusevski redeemed himself with a sublime late goal to seal the victory.<\/p>\n

Brennan Johnson: 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johnson was sensational, scoring twice in the first half to display his value to Spurs. He faded after the break but had already done the damage.<\/p>\n

Mathys Tel: 3\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

A forgettable outing for the 19-year-old loanee, who offered little threat and may struggle to earn a permanent move.<\/p>\n

Son Heung-min: 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Son rolled back the years, terrorizing Ipswich down the left and assisting both of Johnson\u2019s goals before tiring.<\/p>\n

Substitutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

James Maddison: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He injected energy and assisted Spence<\/p>\n

Dane Scarlett: 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He showed grit to set up Kulusevski.<\/p>\n

Pedro Porro: 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He had minimal impact.<\/p>\n

Wilson Odobert: 4\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He had minimal impact.<\/p>\n

Yves Bissouma (N\/A) <\/strong><\/p>\n

He arrived too late to influence proceedings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
