As per StatMuse, the Spurs ace created had four game-leading stats, namely two big chances created, three successful take-ons, seven shots and 15 touches in the opposition box.
As per Sofascore, Kulusevski also had two shots on target, saw four shots blocked, made three key passes, and won four ground duels.
Here is what some Swedish supporters said about the Tottenham star on X.

How the media rated Kulusevski’s display
Fotbollskanalen gave the Spurs star a 4 out of 5 and wrote: “Clearly the best on the pitch. Often did almost whatever he wanted.
“Served (Victor) Gyokeres a great position before he came close to drilling in 1-0 in the away side, and then was most involved in the 1-0 goal.
“Also involved in the 2-0 goal. Things happened when the Tottenham star had the ball.”
Likewise, Svenskafans also went with a 4 out of 5 and wrote: “Consistently Sweden’s biggest threat together with (Yasin) Ayari.
“Sometimes looks to be by far the best on the pitch, but in some strange way not much gets done anyway in the protocol.
“Should be able to ensure that Sweden scores more goals.”
What next for Kulusevski and Sweden?
Sweden play Estonia away in the Nations League on Monday night, with kick-off scheduled for 7:45pm.
