Premier League pundit Don Hutchison praised Tottenham Hotspur right wing-back Pedro Porro in Saturday’s meeting with Nottingham Forest.
Antonio Conte’s charges recorded a solid, if a tad nervy, 3-1 win over the Reds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
And Porro, who was making his first full home start for Spurs, delivered an impressive performance.
The 23-year-old grabbed the assist for Tottenham’s opener, standing a cross up to the back post for Harry Kane to head home.
Porro also played a part in the second, which led to Richarlison winning the penalty that Kane converted for his 20th goal of the season.
The Spaniard looked confident throughout, and Hutchison was eager to sing his praises.
“Porro has played really well, finding his Spurs team mates down that right hand side,” he said, as per the Premier League website (11/3/23, 16:16).
Tottenham went on to get a third through Son Heung-min, but Joe Worrall struck back for Forest in the 81st minute.
Things got nervy in injury time when Dejan Kulusevski handballed in the box to concede a penalty.
However, the impressive Fraser Forster saved Andre Ayew’s spot kick to maintain Tottenham’s two-goal advantage.
The result saw Spurs move six points clear of Liverpool in fourth.
Progress
Porro is certainly starting to find his feet after a slightly difficult start to life at Tottenham.
No surprise really. Some players may need a little while to acclimatise to a new league and country.
However, it’s certainly starting to look like it could be €45million (around £40million) well spent for Spurs.
