📊Tottenham 0 - [1] Liverpool in Voronoi Tessellations.
Speed of Mané and Aurier during the play - green line is the moment of Jordan Henderson's pass.
Mané clearly starts accelerating before Auerier does and claims the space behind the defender.
Now using xT to value the space of all the players we see two main spikes, one related to Mané's run at 9 seconds and the other one to the extrapolated position of Bobby Firmino at the moment of Mané's assist
This is the moment (current vs extrapolated):
And now using Pitch Control:
Pitch Control has a spike between at ~5 seconds related to Matt Doherty's movement that opens up space for Salah in the back. Even though it doesnt look like a potential play for Liverpool, I wouldn't give that much space to the Egyptian
