BBC pundit Jobi McAnuff was left thoroughly impressed by the growing midfield partnership between Tottenham Hotspur duo Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes following their performance against Crystal Palace.
Speaking live on BBC Radio 5 Live after Tottenham capitalized on Jean-Philippe Mateta’s early red card to secure victory, former Palace winger Jobi McAnuff highlighted the emerging chemistry between Spurs’ central pair as a defining feature of the team’s evolution under manager Roberto De Zerbi.
McAnuff pointed out that despite facing a 10-man Palace side for over an hour at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the tactical synchronization between Tonali and Fernandes allowed Spurs to dictate the tempo and dominate central areas effortlessly.
