Medics were rushed in the field, after minutes of treatment he stepped inside the field adorning his bandage and blood still dripping from his nose. He continued to show real tenacity as the game progressed, in spite of being heavily injured.
Foyth was in charge of the right side of the back four and put up a sturdy show. Marcus Rashford rarely got his chance, except one as the Argentine did a remarkable job of marking him. Speaking of him, Unai Emery hoped he stayed at Villarreal.
In the 2020/21 campaign, Foyth became a staple under Emery in the Spanish side where he played mostly as a right back or holding mid. He has made 28 appearances for the Yellow Submarines compared to his 16 appearances in Premier League for Spurs since his arrival back in 2017.
