After the escape, Carlo looked into the box and immediately had one thing on his mind.
He slipped his left foot right under the ball, sending it pinpoint towards Jake, but at the last, the cross was met by Romero, who powered a header clear.
The ball fell to Bissouma, who once again wasted no time, nudging it into the feet of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, who had replaced Pape Matar Sarr earlier in the half as Tottenham almost replicated the attack that had just failed, only this time, Højbjerg turned in one smooth movement before sending Kulusevski racing away down the right.
Following that, the match became relentless.
Attack.
Defend.
Attack again and defend again.
Neither side allowed the other a moment to breathe as the ball pinged back and forth between the two halves with neither having a moment's peace.
"This has turned into basketball... no, tennis!" the co-commentator laughed.
"One end, then the other. Nobody can keep hold of it."
