Alasdair Gold claims Conor Gallagher’s “best” game in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt was Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Brighton.
Premier League relegation battle could be over
Tottenham scored an equalizer in the 95th minute through Georginio Rutter, resulting in a heartbreaking draw with the Seagulls, but fortunately they were not left adrift in the Premier League relegation battle.
West Ham United drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday, with Spurs now within reach of Nuno’s side given they remain two points clear.
If there’s ever a must-win game, the Lilywhites’ upcoming trip to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers fits the bill. That’s because if the Irons fail to pick up all three points against European chasers Everton, the Lilywhites will have a chance to overtake West Ham.
Although Roberto De Zerbi’s side failed to get over the line against the Seagulls, the performance was further encouraging with the manager insisting they deserved all three points from the game.
Gallagher, who earns a whopping £200,000-a-week at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, has come under a lot of criticism since joining from Atletico Madrid in January, with Gold slamming his performance in the 1-0 defeat to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light earlier this month.
However, the journalist was very impressed with the Englishman’s performance in the last game against Brighton, saying:: “I felt that Conor Gallagher probably had his best game ever in a Spurs shirt. I think the many roles he played in the team allowed him to do what he does best: high energy, pressing, trying to get better on the pitch.”
“And he actually had some chances at one point where he won the ball back in good spots and stopped the offense.”

Tottenham’s performance at Molineux
West Ham’s draw with Palace on Monday night confirmed the Old Gold’s relegation, and De Zerbi will be hoping the 26-year-old can improve his form against Wolves at the weekend.

The Lilywhites are in agreement on “everything,” Romano said.
Rob Edwards’ side are without a win in their last three Premier League games, but Molineux hasn’t exactly been a happy hunting ground for Spurs, who have won just one of their last five league games at the stadium and lost their last three on the bounce.
