First silverware of season is here

Tottenham won Audi Cup in Munich by beating host Bayern Munich on penalties. Spurs lead 2:0, then let Bayern come back to 2:2. Spurs goalkeeper Gazzaniga saved two penalties which was enough for London squad to take this trophy. Now when one is in hands this season other of more value are ready to join. :)

Two players who surprised me in good way were Georges-Kevin N'Koudou and Kyle Walker-Peters. First one was in my opinion very good against Real Madrid too. He showed big skill and that he is capable to dribble opponent players. In this Munich game he pushed that to new level. He made world class dribbling to get rid of defender then stun on left side, saw Lamela's high arm and sent perfect low ball on second post for him. Lamela tackle on it just on time to put it in goal. Assistance was just to clever and right I would say even superb. It was just to quick for Noyer to catch coming just where it should on second post. That was great play by N'Koudou. That made me wonder why we didn't see him in squad last year. Left winger was last season on loan to Monaco, but did not play much there. He was probably injured. If he stays fit he could be good add on to squad for next season.

Other player who impressed me was right back Kyle Walker Peters or in short KWP. He had good game. He showed that he can be threat in attack. During first half he somehow ran away from Bayern defender on Spurs right wing, then looked where his teammates are and after that fired up cross straight to head of Lucas, but his header was denied by Noyer. It's a pity it was not goal. It was so great cross and not bad header. Fact I am happy about it is that he raised up head and looked where are players before cross. He did not cross blindly just to send ball there like some other Spurs players would do. He will be good choice for right back in some games.

Third who impressed me who plays these pre-games very good is Lamela. His sliding goal and his entire performance was really good. Bad thing which happen was foot injury of Huan Foyth in second half. He went out of the game on stretcher which is not good. State of his injury is not known, only I could find out was statement that his foot is in pain and that doctor will soon have final say. This is bad but can bring some good things like new contract signing with Toby Alderweireld and buying world class right back to strengthen that right back position. I am also happy because Levy asked for 35 million from Roma for Toby which they refused and approach to Liverpool defender Lovren.

Only man who I feel could do more during regular time was goal keeper Gazzaniga. First goal from Bayern was I think from offside after which one player escaped from Alderweireld and managed to shot from close range. Shot was not top notch and went in the middle of goal and I feel if Gazza moved little closer to attacker he could do something here. However it was from close range. Second was shot from 20-25m and I think Gazza should stop that. Shot was good, but better positioned goal keeper could save it. Gazza saved 2 penalties and practically won this trophy and I should not be to harsh on him. There is no doubt that magnificant Ugo Lloris is number 1 for next season.

I want to point out one thing more. It's Eriksen's over potent penalty. Lad just shot lukewarm half high in the middle of goal and Bayern goalkeeper could just say "Thanks man" after easily saving his poor penalty. His body language during penalty was also for concern. I saw here once one player pass to goalkeeper from penalty like that. It was really poor. However he scored goal for 2:0 after H.Kane assistance and he was not so bad overall.
