On Saturday night, Tottenham Hotspur players Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall represented Sweden in a UEFA Nations League match against Slovakia. Kulusevski played as a number ten behind Viktor Gyokeres and Aleksander Isak in the attack, while Bergvall was on the bench. Sweden took an early lead with Gyokeres scoring off an assist from Isak. However, Slovakia equalized before halftime. In the second half, Gyokeres set up Isak for the winning goal, securing Sweden’s promotion to league B of the Nations League.
Despite not having his best game, Kulusevski had some notable stats including shots on target, touches on the ball, chances created, accurate crosses and long balls, fouls drawn, and tackles. Bergvall did not get a chance to play, but with Sweden already at the top of the group, there might be an opportunity for him to start in the final game.
Sweden will face Azerbaijan in their last group stage game, with hopes of giving Kulusevski some rest and potentially starting Bergvall. This victory is a significant achievement for Spurs pair Kulusevski and Bergvall, as well as their teammates.
