In the end, Tottenham Hotspur successfully maintained their lead throughout the remainder of the match, ultimately emerging as the victors when the final whistle blew.
In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur extended their lead as James Maddison found the back of the net in the 54th minute. This goal was a result of an assist from Heung Min Son. The opportunity arose when Bassey gave the ball away carelessly, allowing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to intercept it.
