Harry Winks was the unlikely hero for Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Harry Winks has revealed to Sky Sports that he has no memory of scoring the dramatic winner for Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday’s 2-1 win at Fulham.
The 22-year-old converted a Georges-Kevin Nkoudou cross from six yards in the dying seconds at Craven Cottage as Tottenham fans erupted behind the goal.
It was Winks’s first Premier League goal for Spurs since a 3-2 win over West Ham at White Hart Lane in 2016.
And although the England midfielder can remember his strike that day, he can’t remember the moment he ended the drought last night.
He told Sky Sports: “It was a blur, I can’t remember what happened, it was a great moment and a win that we needed.
“It has been too long [since I last scored], we needed to bounceback after United, we knew it would be a tough game, we had to try and dig in and do our best and we got lucky and got three points.”
Mauricio Pochettino’s side were trailing 1-0 at half time following Fernando Llorente’s own goal.
And Winks has revealed what Pochettino said to him and his team-mates during the 15-minute interval.
“[At half-time] the manager told us to believing, keep playing, he changed a couple of things tactically to get us higher up the pitch and it worked out for us in the end.”
The North Londoners moved four points clear of fourth-placed Chelsea to give themselves a bit of a cushion in the hunt for Champions League qualification.
