Carragher hits out at ‘braindead’ Tottenham star and slams ‘absolutely ridiculous’ Spurs

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has slammed Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma for giving away a penalty against Chelsea on Sunday.

Hotspur Stadium with early goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski putting Ange Postecoglou’s men in the ascendancy.

A long-range strike from Man Utd loanee Jadon Sancho got Chelsea back into the match before Bissouma gave away a penalty for a reckless tackle on Moises Caicedo.

Cole Palmer converted to level the scores before scoring another spot-kick later in the match after being floored by Pape Matar Sarr in a statement win.

Enzo Fernandes scored Chelsea’s other goal, while https://ufabet999.appSon Heung-min got one back in the sixth minute of added time for Tottenham – who are now 11th in the Premier League table as Carragher and fellow pundit Jamie Redknapp analysed the two penalties.

Bissouma wrote: “I’m so sad for that mistake it’s burning me because we lost the game today from this mistake.

“I feel sorry for my teammates staff and fans I take all the responsibility for that one I’ll learn from this one it’s time now to show the real me. Thanks for all the support.”

Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero insists that Spurs players are “very happy” with Postecoglou as the pressure builds on the Australian manager.

When asked about Bissouma’s challenge to give the penalty away, Carragher said on Sky Sports: “Some of the things Tottenham players do is absolutely ridiculous.

“It’s a certain penalty. That is absolutely braindead. Who’d be a manager?”

On the incident, Redknapp added: “Caicedo when he went central just started to run the game. Bissouma had 27 seconds of madness.

“He’s not showing enough pace to get back in there. He dives into a ridiculous tackle. Absolutely ridiculous.”

Former Tottenham midfielder Redknapp was also frustrated by Sarr’s tackle on Palmer for the second penalty, he added: “You know how skilful he [Palmer] is,’ he said. That is so clumsy, that is so bad because this was the moment that cost them the game.

“Ridiculous challenge, you just cost your team. That’s two ill-disciplined [tackles] from your two defensive midfield players.”

Tottenham midfielder Bissouma took to social media after the match to apologise to his team-mates and supporters for his challenge.
