Match Report 061230 at Tottenham Hotspur: Defensive Art

1-0 and it was a victory from a Luis Garcia magic and the superb defense of Carragher. Someone may say Spurs deserve at least a point, but how about the Blackburn game? I would say it's finally luck on our side.

Players Rating:
Reina: 7 Another clean sheet despite a few scary moments.
Finnan: 7 Nice defense although he almost scored an own goal, fortunately the bar saved him.
Carragher: 9 Another great defensive display from Carra.
Agger: 7 A solid performance.
Riise: 7 A good display.
Luis Garcia: 8 Contained Lee very well and scored the winning goal.
Gerrard: 7 A bit subdued but still inspired the winning goal.
Alonso: 7 Helped controlling the pace.
Aurelio: 6.5 A fair performance.
Bellamy: 7 Worked hard again.
Kuyt: 7.5 Worked really hard and should have scored.

Substitutions:
Pennant: 6.5 Lively performance from the bench.
Crouch: 6 No real impact and can't hold the ball.
Gonzalez: 6 Not enough time to impress

Rafa: 7 Should be happy with the score.

Tottenham Hotspur: 7 Could get a point but our solid defense denied them. Will push all the way for a UEFA spot.

Man of the Match: Carragher. Helped denying Spurs.
