Legends were also angry at Yves Bissouma's 27, Tottenham murder tackle.
Tottenham beat home team Nottingham Forest 2-0 when Hishalisson and Dejan Kulusevski scored goals in the 17th round of the 2023-24 Premier League held at the City Ground in Nottingham, England, early on Sunday. Tottenham 33 points, +12 maintained a fifth place, no difference from fourth place Manchester City 33 points, +20 who played one less game. Nottingham 14 points is 16th.
Hisalisson survived by scoring two consecutive goals for the first time. Kulusevski's powerful right footed shot shook the net to score an additional goal.
However, there was an action of spraying ash on Tottenham's rise. Bissouma played a dirty play in the 24th minute of the second half when he kicked his opponent in the shin. The referee stopped the game and conducted a video reading. The referee ordered Bissouma to leave the game directly. Tottenham had to hold out for about 20 minutes with 10 players remaining. Bissouma is expected to face additional punishment.
Tottenham, where 10 players are fighting, excluded Hishalisson and put Emil Pierre Hoivier in to protect the two goals. Son Heung-min has risen to the front line. Tottenham, who endured the rest of the time, gained three points.
Tottenham was already under controversy as Christian Romero was not sent off even after playing dirty. However, even Bissouma had an accident. Even Destiny Udoji, who became accumulated in warnings after Bissouma, cannot play in the next game.
Legends who watched the game also got angry. "I've never seen that kind of play in years. It was banned 10-15 years ago. It must stop. He is unconditionally banned from playing in three games due to direct send-off. I don't even get a tie. There is no excuse for that," Gary Neville said, strongly scolding Bissouma. 안전놀이터
Bissouma will play in the African Cup of Nations anyway, and will vacate the entire seat in January. Therefore, Bissouma will not be seen until mid-February. Four players of Tottenham have already been sent off this season alone.
Neville said, "Udoji and Bissouma are talented players. They are important players for Tottenham. But look what they lost when they were sent off. Their foolishness became madness due to such a reckless challenge. Postecoglou must be angry, too. I am angry, too."
However, Postecoglou defended Bissouma. "It was a tackle, but it was out of desperation rather than unpleasant things," he said, adding that the murder tackle was not a problem.
Jamie Carragher said, "What kind of player would want to play video game with such tackles? This is a matter of player management," pointing out that the coach is also responsible.
