Tottenham Hotspur and Ange Postecoglou are back to winning ways.
After what was an abysmal November period for Ange Postecoglou and his Spurs side, Tottenham are now finding their feet again in December, with a thumping 4-1 victory over Newcastle certainly helping.
The game saw a sea of excellent performances. Son Heung-Min was so dangerous on the left, Richarlison was back in and among the goals and the young lad Destiny Udogie was sensational.
However, it’s one player again who caught the eye of many… and he’s been doing it all season, as statistics suggest.
Pedro Porro is the Premier League’s best defender this season
According to Sofa Score, Pedro Porro is statistically the highest-performing defender in the entirety of the Premier League this season – with a 7.51 rating.
This is measured over each game, meaning he’s also the most consistently performing defender in the English top flight.
This puts the Spanish full-back above some of the league titans, such as Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander Arnold, William Saliba and Kieran Trippier.
Pedro Porro’s Tottenham Hotspur stats this season
The proof is in the pudding for Porro. His stats throughout the 15 games he’s featured in so far for Spurs certainly do the talking.
- 15 games played
- 15 games started
- 90 minutes per game
- 2 team of the week
- 5 assists
- 3.1 tackles per game
- 82.9 touches per game
- 0 errors led to a goal
A stark contrast from last season’s Porro – who has been completely transformed under his new Aussie manager.
Porro will look to continue his fine form as Spurs take on Nottingham Forest at the weekend. He’ll be desperate to help Spurs kick on as they push for a Champions League spot and, potentially, even the Premier League title.
