#2 Kieran Trippier steps up in Kyle Walker’s absence
Trending
The sign of a title-challenging team is being able to have two competent players in each position. Kieran Trippier has seemingly had a breakthrough season at the Lane this year, putting in quality display after quality display.
The former Burnley defender has filled in at both left-back and right wing-back this season, after major injuries to Kyle Walker and Danny Rose. Today was no different as the 26-year old marked Alexis Sanchez out the game.
Trippier won 100% of his aerial duels, completed 100% of his tackles and overturned the ball on 7 separate occasions. It truly was a coming of age performance for the full-back. Kieran was pivotal to Tottenham’s build-up play as well as being critical to maintaining their defensive shape.
