Dejan Kulusevski has always been a force to be reckoned with on the pitch, but Tottenham’s fiery encounter with Liverpool last night provided a glimpse into his growing prowess in front of goal—a facet Ange Postecoglou believes is elevating the Swedish star’s game to new heights.
Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool treated football fans to a nine-goal spectacle in North London, a match that encapsulated the chaos and unpredictability of the festive season.
With the Lilywhites’ injuries piling up and their squad stretched thin, few expected Spurs to triumph over a rampant Liverpool side, but the game was not without its moments of inspiration.
Despite the 6–3 defeat, the night did not belong solely to Liverpool. Among the chaos, Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski once again shone brightly, proving his worth as a tireless runner and a creative lynchpin.
His contribution—a well-taken goal—marked his fifth consecutive match finding the back of the net, a testament to his consistency amidst the adversity facing Postecoglou’s squad.
Ange Postecoglou, never one to shy away from offering honest appraisals, spoke candidly to football.london about Kulusevski’s evolution as a goal scorer.
His comments highlighted not only the player’s recent success but also the hard work that has gone into refining his game.
He said: “I think Deki’s been outstanding all year. That’s probably the next part of his game, not that he’s never had it but he’s adding it now.
“He’s been really clean with his finishing and it’s a credit to him. He’s taken his game to another level. I think a few of the boys have to be fair. It’s probably not as evident at the moment because we’re in a difficult situation.”
Kulusevski’s performance against Liverpool was a microcosm of his broader contributions this season. According to fotmob, his stats from the game provide a glimpse into his all-around capabilities, reinforcing why he has become such a crucial player for Tottenham under Postecoglou.
These numbers highlight a player who is not only scoring but also contributing significantly to the team’s build-up play and defensive efforts.
Kulusevski’s ability to influence the game in multiple areas has made him indispensable for Tottenham, and his performances have offered a glimmer of hope in an otherwise challenging period.
