West Bromwich Albion winger Nacer Chadli grabbed the headlines as he scored against former club Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon.
The Baggies have enjoyed a solid start to the season, and were hoping to cause some problems for title-chasing Spurs, with Chadli seemingly looking for some revenge.

Belgian international Chadli was sold by Spurs in August, and after a strong opening to his career with Tony Pulis’ men, he seemed destined to haunt his former club – and that’s just what happened.
Chadli opened the scoring for West Brom with just eight minutes left to play, and it looked like West Brom would claim a surprise win until Dele Alli popped up with a late equaliser to rescue a point for Spurs.

After the game, West Brom fans took to Twitter to hail Chadli, who now has four goals and two assists in just five appearances for the Baggies.
Chadli is showing what he can do with regular first-team football – something he didn’t get at White Hart Lane last season – as many Baggies supporters suggested that the £13m fee was a ‘bargain’.

Others pointed to the difference in statistics of Chadli and new Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko, who has yet to grab a goal or an assist for Spurs since joining from Newcastle.
