See the numbers behind Mourinho's biggest result at Spurs, as they pile the pressure on struggling Arsenal #COYS #THFC
Similarly to recent matches, Spurs spent much of the game without the ball allowing Arsenal to dominate possession.
But for all Arsenal's possession they only managed two shots on target and failed to beat Lloris on either occasion. It has now been 656 minutes since Arsenal scored a goal from open play in the Premier League (the same day Spurs beat Man United 6-1).
As well as completing more passes than any other Spurs player, @hojbjerg23 was also the most frequent ball carrier, proving again how vital he is on and off the ball.
Mourinho praised Hojbjerg saying "Physically he's very, very strong and technically he's much better than people think". In terms of the numbers of presses made and balls regained this season, the Dane sits beside N'Golo Kante in the Premier League. #Mourinho
It's also worth noting that Son presses at the rate of a defensive midfielder. [Chart shows all Premier League players, Spurs players in purple] #heungminson
Jose continued; 'On the pitch, he reads the situation very, very well and the people that surround him are really compact'. Hojbjerg is also the league leader in both tackles attempted and tackles won (joint with Dallas and Bissouma). #COYS
Jose stressed how much he appreciates Hojbjerg's ability on the ball; "Simplicity is genius. And the guy is so simple in everything he does with the ball". He has made the league's third most passes into the final third, and trails only Kane at Spurs for progressive passes.
Only Man City's Rodri has made more passes this season with a higher pass completion rate than @Hojbjerg
