POST-MATCH PREVIEW - Juventus vs Tottenham
What an enjoyable match it was to watch. We saw some pretty fantastic individual performances, great goals, some missed chances and some unnecessary mistakes
When we look at all aspects of the game, a 2-2 draw away from home is a beautiful result for Tottenham. Juventus were 2-1 up at halftime with a penalty opportunity to make it 3-1 but was missed by Gonzalo Higuain. The old lady had every opportunity to win this game in their own backyard but due to unnecessary defensive errors and the fighting spirit of Tottenham they gave the lead away in the second half.
Just as predicted in the pre-match review that Gonzalo Higuain and Harry Kane will net in this game, both players did. As well as the game to end in a draw (1-1), but it ended (2-2).
Big kudos to Tottenham as they did not allow the two early goals by Juve to whither their fighting spirit. They took total control of the game afterwards. Juventus now have a very big task ahead to qualify for the next round of the competition.

FULL TIME STATS
Tottenham Hotspur just blew my mind today, thats how I can express how I feel
It was very good game, I enjoyed watching that. Juventus was not as good as I expected, but I think that "Old Lady" will win it when Dybala comes back.
Great match analysis. :)
Their chance is now very slim. I think it would be very difficult to beat Tottenham in their own backyard
