UEFA Champions League: Top five players in Tottenham vs Bayern clash

1. Serge Gnabry

It seemed to be Gnabry’s night as he finished the game with four fantastic goals. In search of a hat-trick, he raced away from Jan Vertonghen to collect a through-ball from Thiago Alcantara as he swept past Hugo Lloris with just two touches. He made Spurs’ defence look mediocre with his silky movement and precision. The 24-year-old winger started his career with Arsenal but the former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger couldn't get the best out of Gnabry.

2. Robert Lewandowski

3. Joshua Kimmich

Kimmich’s opening goal for Bayern was magnificent. He took three touches, controlled his body and lashed it past Hugo Lloris. He controlled the ball from his first touch and successfully deceived midfielder Sissoko to create an opening in front of goal. This goal boosted the confidence of the visitors as they equalised the opening goal netted by the hosts.

4. Son Heung-Min

Son tried creating chances and took shots in the first half. He had his two shots saved by Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer before he flashed the ball under Neuer’s outstretched hand. Sissoko’s assist proved to be efficient for the opening goal of hosts.

In Bundesliga, Bayern will be facing Hoffenheim in their next clash on Saturday, October 5, 2019. On the other hand, Brighton will host Tottenham for their upcoming Premier League clash on the same day.
