Tottenham Hotspur fought back to take all three points against West Ham United.
Harry Winks may have only played 11 times for Tottenham Hotspur prior to this weekend, but he proved on Saturday that he is ready to feature far more regularly.
The 20-year-old had racked up just nine minutes of Premier League football across four matches this season. However, he was called on from the start for the clash with the Hammers and he did not disappoint.
Winks scored his first senior goal for Spurs in the 51st minute, cancelling out Michail Antonio’s opener, and while Manuel Lanzini later put the visitors in the lead for a second time, a late brace from Harry Kane gave Tottenham all three points.
Spurs have a number of exciting options in the centre of the park, but Winks proved this weekend that he can hold his own with the best of them.
| Passing Accuracy | Goals | Key Passes | Dispossessed | Ball Recoveries | Duels Won | Interceptions Won | Forward Passes | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harry Winks | 85% | 1 | 1 | 2 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 16 | 90 |
A passing accuracy of 85 per cent proved his maturity and confidence on the ball, while he was dispossessed just twice and recovered the ball on seven occasions.
Four duels and two interceptions showed Winks’ tenacity while he played the ball forward 18 times, showing just how much he wants to drive attacks rather than play the easy ball.
Overall this was a superb performance from Winks and Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is unlikely to wait too long before calling on him again.
