Wilson Odobert - Seven crosses Monday Odobert recorded one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Impact Odobert recorded seven crosses in Monday's loss as Spurs fell down two goals early and had to fight back. Even though Pedro Porro and Mathys Tel took up many of the crossing opportunities, Odobert still found a way to set a season high in that category. He also put one shot on target and created one chance before he was subbed off in the 67th minute for Brennan Johnson. With him unlikely to see many minutes in the Europa League semifinals, he has a good chance to earn starts in the next two Premier League matches in order to rest Spurs' main attacking starters.

Mathys Tel - Fills up stat sheet Monday Tel recorded five shots (zero on goal), 13 crosses (five accurate) and three corners in Monday's 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Impact After Spurs fell down two goals within the first 16 minutes of Monday's match, Tel -- along with Pedro Porro -- led Spurs on an attacking spree for the rest of the match. Tel set season highs in chances created (five), crosses (13), accurate crosses (five) and corners (three), but none of that resulted in an assist. He also took five shots but was wasteful with them as he put none on target and missed a couple of big chances that went nowhere near the goal. Despite him showing an ability to play as a creative winger, it was a disappointing outing for him even though he put up big stats.

Pedro Porro - 23 crosses and assist Monday Porro assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), 23 crosses (eight accurate) and four corners in Monday's 2-1 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.
Impact After Spurs went down two goals early in Monday's match, the club spent the rest of the match on the attack, with much of that funneled through Porro. He recorded a whopping 23 crosses, including eight accurate, and created seven chances in the match, all of which marked season highs. One of those crosses connected with Richarlison in the 87th minute to cut the deficit to 2-1, but Porro and Spurs were unable to find the equalizer after that. It was a fantastic attacking performance by Porro, but he cannot be expected to have near that much volume every week.

Richarlison - Scores again Monday Richarlison scored one goal to go with seven shots (three on goal) in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Impact Richarlison made his first start since Feb. 2 Monday and marked the occasion with a nice header in the 87th minute assisted by Pedro Porro. It marked his fourth goal in 11 Premier League matches this season. He took a season-high seven shots, putting three on target, as Spurs were constantly on the attack in the second half. With Spurs' main focus being on the Europa League, Richarlison will likely continue to see good minutes during the last five matches in the Premier League.

Guglielmo Vicario - Concedes twice Monday Vicario made one save and allowed two goals in Monday's 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Impact Vicario had a very rough start to the match as he conceded two goals in the first 16 minutes of play. Although the first goal by Eliott Anderson in the 5th minute looked like a blunder by Vicario, it took a weird deflection that allowed it to go in. However, Vicario is to blame on the second goal as he came out way too far in the box on Chris Wood's header in the 16th minute, allowing Wood to easily score. He has now conceded in eight consecutive Premier League matches and has allowed multiple goals in four of his last six starts. He faces a very difficult matchup Sunday at Liverpool, a side which has scored a league-high 75 goals through 33 matches this season.

Harry Toffolo - Makes huge clearance in first start Toffolo recorded one cross (zero accurate) and three tackles in Monday's 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 94th minute.
Impact Toffolo made his first Premier League start of the season Monday and just his fourth appearance. He made one of the biggest plays of the match in the 63rd minute when he made a wildly athletic clearance off the goal line on a Dejan Kulusevski header. Since Spurs scored late in the match to make it 2-1, that play by Toffolo gave Forest three points and kept the club narrowly in third place in the table with just five matches to play. In addition to his three clearances, he won three tackles, blocked two shots, intercepted one pass and won three duels in his full 90 minutes of action.
