Spurs’ Midfielder in Goal of the Month Contention
Yves Bissouma, Tottenham’s midfield dynamo, has garnered attention for his remarkable goal against Everton, earning a spot among the nominees for BBC Match of the Day’s Goal of the Month.
The 27-year-old’s stunning strike came during a highly anticipated match, marking his return from a one-game ban.
Bissouma, who had faced criticism following his suspension, answered his detractors with a goal that exemplified both skill and perfect timing.
The build-up to Bissouma’s goal showcased the attacking style that manager Ange Postecoglou has been cultivating.
The play initiated on the right with Brennan Johnson and Pedro Porro, before Dejan Kulusevski’s nimble footwork in the box set up Bissouma just outside the area.
The midfielder then unleashed a powerful shot that found the net via the crossbar, leaving Everton’s keeper Jordan Pickford helpless.
This nomination puts Bissouma in elite company, competing against premier league scoring talents like Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Liverpool’s Diogo Jota for the monthly honor.
Regardless of the award’s outcome, Bissouma’s goal stands as a season highlight for Tottenham, underscoring his growing value to the team.
