The Norwich striker has been a revelation this season. For those who doubted his ability to translate his form from the Championship to the PL, he has proved them all wrong. Pukki has been Norwich’s only shining light this season, directly contributing to 12 goals in 20 Premier League appearances.

Against an out of sorts Tottenham defence, the 29-year-old wreaked havoc and his endurance and infectious energy unsettled the Spurs defence. The striker’s insistence to make runs down the flanks made him hard to mark. Also, his persistence in pressing the Spurs defenders didn’t allow Tottenham to play out from the back, forcing them to go long.

If it weren’t for the VAR, the 29-year-old would have a well-taken goal on his hands. However, his efforts were not to go unrewarded as it was due to his movement in the box that Aurier scored an own goal to put them 2-1 up. After this performance, it’s safe to say that Pukki is one of the most difficult strikers for any defence to face.
