Wait 5 sec.

Spurs fans will love the message Djed Spence sent to Man City winger Jeremy Doku after the Tottenham man was left out of the starting lineup for Wednesday’s 1-0 loss at home.Djed Spence is one of the most in-form players in the Premier League at the moment and many might have eagerly anticipated his battle with the pacy and skilful Jeremy Doku when Man City came to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday.However, Ange Postecoglou denied us the opportunity to see that play out as he rotated his squad, opting to bring Pedro Porro back into the starting lineup in place of Spence, while Desting Udogie kept his place at left-back.Doku had the better of Porro, especially in the first half, with the Tottenham man struggling to cope with the Belgian’s pace and his dribbling.(Credit: @reclusemedia / Instagram)Djed Spence missed out on chance to battle Jeremy DokuDoku was the architect behind the game’s only goal, with his pass taking a deflection and finding its way to Erling Haaland, who had a simple finish.The 22-year-old winger was a handful for the Tottenham defence all game and was deservedly awarded the Man of the Match after City left N17 with three points for a second season in a row.When Doku took to social media after the 1-0 win to post an image with the Man of the Match trophy, Spence responded with a very interesting comment.The pair played together at Rennes when the Tottenham man spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign on loan at the Ligue 1 club, and the full-back simply wrote to his former teammate: “We’ll meet next time.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dokss 🫡🤫 (@jeremydoku)Was Ange Postecoglou right to rotate his Tottenham squad?One can certainly understand why Postecoglou wanted to rotate his options and bring some fresh legs into the team, and one can argue that the move worked, particularly given the intensity that the Spurs players maintained for the 90 minutes.However, some will feel that this was the game Djed Spence had to play as he is one of the few full-backs in the league that is capable of dominating Doku (or Savinho) in one-v-one situations.Perhaps, Postecoglou could have used Porro against Ipswich and brought the former Middlesbrough man into the team to face the Premier League champions.The post Djed Spence sends warning to Jeremy Doku after Tottenham vs Man City battle appeared first on Spurs Web.
