According to ESPN, José Mourinho and João Sacramento were left scratching their heads over something Tanguy Ndombélé did in Tottenham’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea.
ESPN state that, when the Tottenham duo analysed the stalemate at Stamford Bridge, they were left baffled by the Frenchman’s ability to escape the clutches of Thiago Silva and N’Golo Kante.
The moment – which ESPN say one staff member described as ‘magic’ – happened in the first-half.
Kante and Silva seemed to have trapped the former Olympique Lyon maestro, but he somehow managed to throw in a stepover before dribbling away from the Chelsea duo.
It truly was a fantastic piece of skill from the 23-year-old.
It was also a moment of genius which had plenty of Tottenham fans on Twitter drooling – one supporter described it as a ‘breathtaking’ piece of creativity.
Ndombélé’s ability to carry the ball and dribble out of seemingly impossible situations makes him such a unique player.
Tottenham’s £53.8 million, club-record signing can make something out of nothing in a split second.
He is brave, courageous and daring on the ball, which helps Spurs beat the press of the opposition and gets them up the pitch.
After a difficult debut campaign in England, it’s great to see the Longjumeau-born playmaker showing what he can do.
