Lewis The Lion

September 16, 2026

This felt like a League Cup game with a difference. Like it mattered to the players, to the manager, to the fans. There was an atmosphere. Helped by 6,000 Tottenham fans, there was rain, and we scored three goals that had everyone purring. We conceded one that we shouldn’t have but then Mama made one world class save plus a couple of others so redemption. For forty-five minutes there was Joe Gomez. We should thank Andoni for at least keeping a bit of experience in the starting X1 and although the first twenty minutes, and maybe the last twenty looked a bit scary the bit in between looked promising. Those who, for reasons only they know, left early missed the Dominik Szoboszlai Exocet which wrapped up not only the game but any queries about goal of the month, maybe season, contenders. For me the best bit of the night was watching Lewis Koumas running around like a lion after its prey. He left the pitch to a standing ovation and then got the MOTM trophy. I can see why the boss likes him. I’ll be hoping for another home game in the next round.
