From the source

Roberto De Zerbi just has a knack doesn't he. It was the Italian's decision to introduce Dejan Kulusevski to the mix late on against Coventry City that sapped the tension out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, making way for euphoria as the Swede stepped foot on the field for the first time in 526 days.

There wasn't quite the degree of nervousness in N17 this time around, with Spurs in cruise control, yet De Zerbi, having expertly baked the cake and masterfully enveloped it in icing, still found a cherry to place on top.

So many have demanded that Lucá Williams-Barnett be given a chance. Admittedly, the calls for youth aren't quite so pronounced when you're winning, but when you've got something you believe to be special, you want to show him off to the world.
