You don't see a 7-1-0 formation set up on the halfway line very often - and for good reason - but it was hugely entertaining
Every footballer knows what to do when your side goes down a man: drop back in front of your goal, clog the middle, force play out wide and clear crosses out of the box like your life depends on it. And if you go down to nine men? Forget you ever heard of the halfway line, it’s time to find out how many centre-backs can dance on the head of a pin. Advertisement It’s easy to see why the box-packing approach is so popular.
The other eight teams to have two men sent off in the last five seasons allowed zero combined high-line events and 76 crosses between them while playing with nine men — a unanimous vote in favour of defending in the box. After Udogie was sent off in the 53rd minute, Spurs allowed five high-line events and just five crosses, never backing down for a second. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand data points.
