Danny Murphy has praised Tottenham Hotspur right wing-back Pedro Porro on Match of the Day on BBC One (11:14pm, March 4, 3023) for his performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home at Molineux Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The former Tottenham midfielder has said that Porro was “excellent” for Antonio Conte’s side in the first half.

Spurs suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Wolves.

Adama Traore scored the only goal of the match in the 82nd minute.

Porro, who joined Tottenham in the January transfer window, started the match at right wing-back.

Emerson Royal replaced the 23-year-old in the 82nd minute.

It was a disappointing day at the office for Tottenham, but Porro did play well.

The right wing-back was very bright down the right.

Porro tried to score on one occasion, and put in a very good low cross on another occasion.

The Spain international also hit the woodwork with a free kick.

In the second half, Porro had a looking deflected strike saved by Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa.
