Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks put in another confident performance.
Harry Winks has not missed a step since being promoted to the Tottenham Hotspur first team, and delivered another impressive performance for the club last night.
The 20-year-old was at the heart of the action, helping his side to a 3-1 win over CSKA Moscow at Wembley.

The statistics backed up Winks’ easy on the eye performance, which saw him link up effectively with his teammates as if he had been playing alongside them for years.
Winks managed 123 touches of the ball at Wembley, more than any other player on the pitch.
The nearest player was teammate Danny Rose with 104, while CSKA’s most involved player was their goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev (59 touches).

What made Winks’ performance even more notable was his efficiency in possession.
Even considering his high number of touches, he managed to completed 96 per cent of them, bettering any starter, with teammate Victor Wanyama following with 94 per cent.
While Winks did not create any chances, he was involved defensively, winning one tackle and recording two interceptions.
CSKA enjoyed just 28 per cent possession in total, restricting Winks’ opportunity for defensive work, while explaining his high number of touches.
He will hope to have done enough to earn a start against Manchester United at the weekend, a selection which would highlight the trust Mauricio Pochettino has in him.
