Spurs
achieved a 2-0 home victory over Sheffield U. Both goals
came in the first 20 minutes of the game,. The first
was scored by Berbatov who was left with a simple finish
after a low cross from Lennon while The 2nd goal came
through Jenas after a fine assist from Berbatov. Egyptian
midfgielder Ghaly wasn't included in the match squad
for the 2nd time.
Despite the fact that Ghaly featured in
almost every preseason match, the Egyptian is yet to
make it to the starting eleven in official games. He
was even not on bench in the couple of matches that
Tottenham played this week.
In this midweek fixture, Spurs faced the
recently promoted side, Sheffield United and managed
to win the game by two goals to ni.
Both goals came early on as the Spurs
had a powerful start in the game but their performance
faded out with time.
The first goal came after a through pass
from Keane to Lennon in the right wing, the latter crossed
low to the totally unmarked Berbatov who was left with
a simple finish.
In the 18th minute, the Spurs added their
2nd goal through Jenas. Again, Keane started the attack
with a long ball into the edge of the box, Berbatov
laid it superbly in a Mido style flick on and Jenas
advanced on the keeper and scored the 2nd.
Spurs were generally the better side throughout the game especially
in the first half and also in the final quarter of the game.
Aside from this, the Egyptian Ghaly is yet to
make his season debut as he couldn't make it to the match
squad for the first time. This is mainly due to the abundance
of midfielders in the Spurs team like Zokora, Davids, Jenas,
Tainio in addition to Ghaly.
However, the Spurs will have busy schedule this
season as they have matches in UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League
Cup and these matches will help Ghaly get his chance. Then,
all will depend on how good he will be in the games he participate
in.
