Tottenham continue to be a team of surprises, proving that they are the most inconsistently consistent team once again with a stunning 4-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Now sitting in sixth place, Spurs dominated the match with James Maddison scoring twice, while Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson added to the tally, deepening the woes for Pep Guardiola’s side who have a five game losing streak going on against them.

Tottenham delivered standout performances across the pitch, with Dejan Kulusevski particularly catching the eye. However, it was a collective squad effort, and German forward Timo Werner made his mark after coming off the bench to contribute to the team’s impressive display.

Timo Werner stuns Robinson with the Kyle Walker duel

Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson, speaking to the BBC, expressed his amazement at Timo Werner’s performance, particularly highlighting his assist for Brennan Johnson’s goal.

Robinson noted that he had “never seen anyone run past Kyle Walker like that,” praising Werner for turning on the afterburners to set up Tottenham’s fourth. He added that Johnson had “the easiest of tasks” to finish, describing the atmosphere among Spurs fans as celebratory.

The Expert was absolutely amazed with what the German did, stating

“I have never seen anyone run past Kyle Walker like that, Timo Werner turned on the afterburners,”

“Brennan Johnson has the easiest of tasks. Spurs fans are having an absolute party.”

Timo Werner’s stint at Tottenham has largely been underwhelming, with the striker managing just three goal contributions in 539 minutes across all competitions. His struggles in front of goal suggest that the player is low on confidence.

However, his impactful cameo against Manchester City, particularly his explosive run past Kyle Walker to assist Brennan Johnson, could provide a much-needed morale boost. For Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou, this moment might signal a turning point, offering hope that Werner can deliver when called upon.
