Defensive troubles - Mwepu's overhead kick from the edge of the box was blocked by Davies; a high pressure press almost saw Davies give Mac Allister the chance to intercept a kick in front of goal; and from a corner, Veltman's header was slightly disrupted by Bentancur, and the far post was offside as he tried to finish the tap in. However, the team failed to utilize their passing game to completely tear apart the

Defense.
Brighton
With 5 shots and 0 goals in the first half, the mediocre performance was not much of a surprise.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The offensive side of the ball was abysmal, with only one shot from outside the box in the first half. Cucurella should have been able to find space on the right side of the field to launch a counterattack, but Cucurella ran up and down the field, attacking and defending just enough to leave no room for him to get involved in the attack.

Utilization. In fact, it was rather the incidents outside of soccer that were more absorbing in this area, as Kulusevski was pressed tightly by Cucurella, and an impulsive elbow strike clipped Cucurella's moustache to avoid a red card; later, a half-aggressive defensive, half-secretly vengeful grab by Cucurella stepped on Kulusevski's ankle, again by a fraction of an inch to avoid a Red Card.

Bissouma's sweeps to protect the back line did a good job, as did the backfield interceptions or uptakes to slow down the opponent's offense instantly, allowing

The better counter-attacks were completely ineffective. Even after some minor flaws that led to a crisis, key defenses in the box were able to defuse it - Kane's two one-touch chances in the box were broken up by Veltman and Cucurella before he could shoot, and both of Sun's threatening shots in the second half were blocked by defenders.

On the other hand, it was the same as the first half, there were some threatening attacks created, but failed to complete the tandem in the box for a BIG chance.
The stalemate lasted all the way until the 90th minute of the game when a combination of Trossard, Lallana, and Welbeck on the left side of the box allowed

However.
Manchester City football club
No player's individual ability can be relied on, almost the whole team's passing quality is very poor, no one can jump out to stabilize the army; moreover, there is not enough defense to cover up the disadvantage, the first goal corner easily let Konate have a chance to attack the goal, and the second goal is a big accident to give the opponent a good gift from Steffen.
