SpursAssists Wednesday
Gray assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Gray assisted Xavi Simons' goal in the 52nd minute Wednesday, a strike which cut the aggregate deficit to just two goals. It was one of two chances Gray created in the match and it marked his first goal contribution in the Champions League. Gray has been on an impressive run of form as of late, with three assists and one goal across his last seven appearances in all competitions. He'll look to keep up that good form with Spurs in a heated relegation battle with just eight matches to play.
Assists again Thursday
Gray assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 3-1 defeat versus Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Gray assisted the opening goal of Thursday's match with an impressive assist to Dominic Solanke in the 34th minute. It marked his second straight match with an assist and it was the only chance he created in the match. The teenager now has three goal contributions over the last four matches, a stretch where Spurs have scored just four goals.
Assists in Sunday's loss
Gray assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Fulham.
Analysis: Gray recorded his first assist of the season Sunday as his cross in the 66th minute set up Richarlison's header. It was the only chance he created and the only cross he recorded in the match. He also made three clearance on the defensive end as he played the full 90 minutes in his fifth consecutive match despite starting in three different positions.
Scored in Tuesday's loss
Gray scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Newcastle United.
Analysis: Gray started his second consecutive match at right back with Pedro Porro (hamstring) and Destiny Udogie (hamstring) both unavailable. He made a massive impact on the match with a close-range strike in the 64th minute off a Pape Matar Sarr assist to briefly tie the match up at 1-1. It marked Grays second goal of the season. The 19-year-old has seen a lot of playing time as of late due to Spurs' host of injuries and although his performances have been inconsistent, this early exposure to big minutes should benefit him in the long run.
Bags first goal Sunday
Gray scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 22nd minute.
Analysis: Gray had a special moment Sunday as he scored the lone goal of the match in the 42nd minute, a header off a Richarlison assist following a corner. Not only did it mark his first Premier League goal, but it marked the first goal of the teenager's Spurs career. He put in good work on the defensive end too as he recorded four clearances, one interception and one blocked shot before he was subbed off in the 85th minute for Radu Dragusin.
One shot Sunday
Gray had one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 40th minute.
Analysis: Gray put one shot on target Sunday, a notable feat considering it was the only shot Spurs put on target throughout the entire match. He did not do anything else of note on the attack and added just two clearances on the defensive end. He was subbed off in the 59th minute for Joao Palhinha after his quiet outing.
Fit from bench
Gray (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Arsenal.
Analysis: Gray is back with the club after training this week, fit enough to find a spot on the bench. He is set for a limited role as a rotational to reserve option this campaign, only starting in one of his numerous appearances on the team sheet.
Trains with team
Gray (calf) trained with his team ahead of Sunday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Archie trained with the team today."
Analysis: Gray was back in training this week after a calf injury to end October, appearing to be close to fit after the injury. The defender is likely close to getting back on the team sheet, possibly featuring against Arsenal in a bench role. He has only started in two of his four appearances this season and has gone unused numerous times, continuing in a rotational role once fit.
Suffers calf injury
Gray (calf) is expected to miss between four to eight weeks due to injury, according to Jake Sanders from Sun Sport.
Analysis: Gray suffered a calf injury in recent days and is expected to miss between four and eight weeks to recover. The club hopes that his absence will be closer to four weeks rather than the longer end of the timeline, but his injury will not impact the starting XI of the Spurs since he has mainly been a bench option under coach Thomas Frank.
