Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 2 Juventus : 5 Talking Points in the Champions League tie

#3 Tottenham were hit by an Argentine suckerpunch, and then knocked-out by another

The Argentine duo stole the tie for Juve in a 3-minute spell of brilliance.

Having done the live commentary for the same match, I was severely disappointed by the duo. Neither managed even a touch of the ball for what seemed like eternity. Both the Argentines will claim they got very little or no service in the first half, but cannot fail to accept the responsibility for a terrible showing in the first forty-five.

My eyes kept wandering to see where they were on the field, and more often than not, it was back behind the ball - defending. The incompetence of the rest of the team to pass the ball accurately over five yards didn't exactly help, but we've come to expect better from the two.

I'm always wary of being overly-critical of Higuain (that miss in the World Cup Final in 2014), because the former Napoli and Real Madrid man knows how to find the back of the net. His predatory instincts took over in the 64th minute - as he managed to divert the ball into the Tottenham goal from a Sami Khedira header. Gonzalo didn't have any time to react, but he also didn't need any.

It was 1-1 and it seemed like Juventus would stage a come-back. Any questions of that happening were put to rest, as Paolo Dybala popped up with a confirmation, three minutes later. Higuain - turning provider this time - played in his compatriot with a beautiful through ball, and the diminutive Argentine did the rest.

Tottenham didn't know what hit them. The rest of the world does.
