Spurs 7 Inter Milan 1

Firstly, what a pleasure it was this afternoon to see a Spurs side give such an impressive display of attacking football to ruthlessly destroy Inter Milan.

Secondly, it was also a real pleasure to see a Spurs number 9 play with a great work ethic and real enthusiasm. I am of course talking about Souleymane Coulibaly who was outstanding today and thoroughly deserved his two goals. In addition to his goals, he showed strength, aggression and won corners and free kicks out of nothing simply due to his willingess to work hard for the team. We look to have found a real talent here. He is as strong as an ox ad looks to have the heart of a lion. I doubt anyone who was there today will forget his genuine pace and finish for his first goal.

Spurs gave the Italians a real lesson in pass and movement and had the game sealed up after a 3 goal spell in the opening 15 minutes when they mercilessly ripped them apart time after time. Tomislav Gomelt had 3 shots and scored with all of them before conceding a penalty for which he was harshly shown the red card.

With the excellent Alex Pritchard and the outstanding Massimo Luongo pulling the strings in midfiled, Spurs piled forward and went into the break 6-1 ahead.

Down to 10 men for the second half, the tempo dropped but Coulibaly was unlucky not to add more goals and Spurs took the opportunity to use all 3 subs, including a decent debut from Cristain Ceballos and also the wonderfully named Horacio Cristian Olaya.

A good result, a great display and nice to see first teamers such as Kyle Walker and Andros Townsend there to give these yoiungsters support.
