The 22-year-old Tottenham player is said to have collapsed to the ground after his last-minute goal against Liverpool

Liverpool ended the match with nine men after Curtis Jones received a straight red card for fouling Yves Bissouma and Diogo Jota received two consecutive yellow cards.

The away team should have scored thanks to Luis Diaz, but the goal was not recognized because of offside.

Tottenham seemed unable to penetrate Liverpool’s stubborn defense in the final minutes.

However, Joel Matip, after having such a good game at center back, could only send a low cross into his own net.

Micky Van de Ven fell to the ground in the 96th minute in a mixture of relief and elation. The 22-year-old delivered another impressive performance and was one of the best signings of the season.

Van de Ven collapses after late Tottenham winner

As Joel Matip slots the ball past his own goalkeeper, the Tottenham squad all rush towards the corner where Pedro Porro delivers a dangerous cross.

However, Micky Van der Ven is the furthest man back and when the camera pans to an angle from behind the goal, and the Dutch defender simply collapses to the floor.

Van de Ven’s speed has proved to be a key asset this season and yesterday was no exception.

Time and again, Liverpool’s attackers thought they were through on goal.

But when they knocked the ball ahead of them to close down on Guglielmo Vicario’s goal, Van de Ven was always on hand to nick it away.

It’s no surprise Van de Ven collapsed given the emotional and physical energy exerted yesterday.

He admitted he’s been studying Spurs legend Jan Vertoghen and he put in a performance that the Belgian would have been proud of yesterday.
