Champions League - Tottenham 1-0 Manchester City: 5 Hits and Flops

#4 Hit: Toby Alderweireld

Alderweireld has had a string of average displays over the past two months but against top opposition when it matters most, always knows when to step it up a gear. After his influential performances against Borussia Dortmund in the last-16, he has followed it up with another impressive display vs. a dangerous Manchester City side.

They struggled to get Aguero involved as much as his ability warrants, which is more to do with the Belgian's presence at the heart of Tottenham's backline than anything else. His positional awareness and defensive nous were tested, but he prevailed with flying colours as the Belgian's match statistics reiterate: five clearances, two aerial duels and tackles completed, one block and interception to go with no fouls committed.

Having turned 30 last month and with much more to give, the £25m release clause in his existing Spurs deal is one that many top sides will be looking to activate this summer, not least when he excels during matches like these.
